Vegas Golden Knights DFS SPIN
Jack Eichel scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday’s 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes. Eichel tallied late in the third period, which sufficed only to keep his point streak alive at 11 games. During that span, he has seven tallies and 10 assists. For the season, the superstar has 15 goals, 22 helpers, 139 shots on goal, 29 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 33 appearances. He’s been excellent for season-long fantasy managers, and he’s worth the investment in DFS when the Golden Knights have a favorable matchup.
Tampa Bay Lightning DFS SPIN
Steven Stamkos notched three assists in Tuesday’s 6-1 win over St. Louis. Stamkos has been on quite a run of late — he now has eight points (five goals, three assists) in his last three games. The 33-year-old winger is up to 15 goals and 34 points through 30 contests this season after surpassing the 80-point mark in each of his previous two campaigns.
