Carolina Hurricanes DFS SPIN
Seth Jarvis produced an assist, three shots on goal, five hits and two PIM in Saturday’s 5-4 loss to the Islanders.
Jarvis has come alive of late, with two goals among his five points in his last seven games. The recent surge gives him 24 points in 34 games, putting Jarvis on pace to approach the 60-point mark if he can stay healthy. He continues to skate mainly on the Canes’ top line alongside Sebastian Aho and Teuvo Teravainen.
Nashville Predators DFS SPIN
Juuse Saros stopped 31 shots in Saturday’s 3-2 loss to Dallas. The 28-year-old netminder took a shutout into the third period and was still protecting a 2-1 lead with just 15 seconds left in regulation, but the Predators’ defense wilted under the pressure and Saros somehow got beaten twice before the final horn sounded. It marked the first time in NHL history that a team scored the tying and winning goals inside the final 15 seconds of a game. Despite the stumble, Saros has been mostly outstanding in December, posting a 7-2-0 record over nine starts with a 2.17 GAA and .933 save percentage.
