Los Angeles Kings DFS SPIN
Joonas Korpisalo stopped 37 of 42 shots in a 5-4 overtime loss to Edmonton in Game 4 on Sunday. It wasn’t Korpisalo’s best outing, but it was also the third time in four contests that he’s faced at least 40 shots, so he could probably use a bit more help from his defense. With LA up 3-0 after one period, Korpisalo faced a staggering 20 shots in the second frame, and the contest was consequently tied at 3-3 by the second intermission. The 28-year-old has a 3.00 GAA and a .917 save percentage in four playoff appearances this year.
Edmonton Oilers DFS SPIN
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins logged a power-play assist and a minus-2 rating in Sunday’s 5-4 overtime win over the Kings in Game 4. Nugent-Hopkins set up the second of Leon Draisaitl’s tallies, which tied the game at 3-3 late in the second period. The Oilers are making noise with their power play, and Nugent-Hopkins has contributed three helpers with the man advantage through four playoff contests. The 30-year-old forward has added nine shots on net, five hits, two blocked shots, four PIM and a minus-3 rating.
