Tampa Bay Lightning DFS SPIN
Nikita Kucherov had a goal and four assists in a 6-4 win over Ottawa on Saturday. Kucherov essentially put the Bolts on his back and carried them to victory. “I think it all started with [Kucherov] dumping pucks in and showing us how to play, how to play hard,” Lightning forward Michael Eyssimont said after the game. “He led us tonight, all night. Not just on the scoresheet, but the way he played.” It was Kucherov’s fourth five-point NHL game, which moved him ahead of Vincent Lecavalier for most in Lightning history.
Toronto Maple Leafs DFS SPIN
William Nylander picked up an assist Saturday in a 6-4 loss to the Sabres. It extended Nylander’s season-opening point streak (and franchise record) to 11 games. He has 15 points, including six goals, in those 11 outings. He and linemate John Tavares have been a highly effective duo, no matter who lines up with them. Nylander is a play-and-ignore talent — he should never be out of your lineup unless the Leafs have the day off.
