Carolina Hurricanes DFS SPIN
Frederik Andersen stopped 16 of 17 shots in a 1-0 loss to Florida in Game 3 on Monday. The only goal Andersen allowed was scored during a Panthers power play. Between him and Antti Raanta, who started in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals, Carolina’s goaltenders have surrendered just six goals on 103 shots in this series, but the Hurricanes’ forwards have gone cold. Carolina now finds itself down 3-0 with Game 4 set to be played Wednesday. It wouldn’t be surprising if Andersen started in the must-win contest, especially because Hurricanes coach Rod Brind’Amour’s probable motivation for using Raanta in Game 2 was to rest Andersen after Thursday’s quadruple-overtime contest. Fatigue shouldn’t be a concern after the relatively light workload during Monday’s outing. Andersen has a strong track record too, going 5-2 with a 1.58 GAA and a .937 save percentage in eight playoff appearances this year.
Florida Panthers DFS SPIN
Sergei Bobrovsky stopped all 32 shots he faced in Florida’s 1-0 victory over Carolina in Game 3 on Monday. Bobrovsky has pushed the Panthers to a 3-0 series lead in the Eastern Conference Finals by saving an incredible 132 of 135 shots over that stretch. That’s pushed him up to 10-2 with a 2.15 GAA and a .935 save percentage in 13 playoff outings this year. It’s increasingly looking like Bobrovsky will be the favorite to claim the Conn Smythe Trophy if the Panthers are able to pull through and win the Stanley Cup. Bobrovsky and Florida still have work ahead though, which will continue Wednesday when the Panthers attempt to complete their sweep of Carolina.
