Carolina Hurricanes DFS SPIN
Sebastian Aho scored an empty-net goal on four shots and added two power-play assists in Saturday’s 3-2 win over the Maple Leafs. The only reason Aho didn’t record a third straight four-point game was that the Hurricanes didn’t score four goals. He ends December with nine goals and 13 assists over 15 appearances. He has returned to the high-end level that has made him a consistent fantasy option for years. Overall, the center is up to 15 tallies, 42 points, 103 shots on net and a plus-7 rating through 34 appearances. Seventeen of his points have come on the power play.
New York Rangers DFS SPIN
Artemi Panarin had a hat trick Saturday in a 5-1 win over Tampa Bay. It was his sixth career hat trick. The Bread Man opened the scoring early in the first when he finished a cross-slot pass from Vincent Trocheck on a 2-on-0. Panarin pushed the score to 4-1 at the midpoint of the third period with a wrist shot from the right circle. The hat trick was completed on the power play at 15:26 of the final frame. Panarin is on a four-game goal streak (six goals, one assist), and he’s having a Hart-quality season with 23 goals (tied for third in the NHL) and 50 points (third in NHL).
