Seattle Kraken DFS SPIN
Philip Grubauer saved 33 of 34 shots in a 2-1 victory over Colorado in Game 7 on Sunday. Grubauer spent three years with Colorado before signing a six-year, $35.4 million contract with Seattle in the summer of 2021. Grubauer failed to live up to that contract during his first two regular seasons with the Kraken, posting a 17-14-4 record, 2.85 GAA and .895 save percentage in 39 outings during the 2022-23 campaign specifically. However, those struggles can be forgiven after the way he played against his former team in this series. The 31-year-old has a 4-3 record, 2.45 GAA and .926 save percentage in seven playoff appearances this year. The Kraken will be looking for more of the same out of him in the second round against Dallas.
Dallas Stars DFS SPIN
Jake Oettinger saved 23 of 24 shots in a 4-1 victory over Minnesota in Game 6 on Friday. Oettinger earned his third straight victory, and he surrendered just three goals on 85 shots in that span. He was very effective in the Stars’ first-round series versus the Wild, posting a 2.01 GAA and a .928 save percentage. The Stars will continue to lean on Oettinger when they take on the winner of the Colorado-Seattle series in the second round.
