Seattle Kraken DFS SPIN
Joey Daccord allowed two goals on 38 shots in Saturday’s 3-2 shootout loss to the Kings. Daccord was busy during regulation and overtime, which included him helping to kill off three of the Kraken’s four penalties. He also made five saves on nine shootout attempts, but he came up one short when Carl Grundstrom tallied to win it.
Daccord has taken the reins on the starting job for Seattle, allowing a total of nine goals over his last six outings. The team’s overall performance still leaves plenty to be desired, but Daccord has provided steady playing time for fantasy managers in need of games. He’s now at a 5-5-7 record with a 2.57 GAA and a .908 save percentage through 18 appearances. The Kraken embark on a four-game road trip that begins Monday in Dallas.
Dallas Stars DFS SPIN
Matt Duchene provided an assist and blocked two shots in Saturday’s 4-3 overtime loss to the Blues. Duchene has two goals and five helpers over his last six contests. The 32-year-old helped out on Mason Marchment’s opening tally at 4:58 of the first period. Duchene is up to 24 points, 64 shots on net, 19 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 28 outings overall. He’s been an excellent fit in his first season with the Stars, and it’s possible he could challenge for the 70-point mark for the fourth time in his career.
