Toronto Maple Leafs DFS SPIN
Matt Murray (head) is still day-to-day and won’t travel with the Leafs for the start of the team’s three-game road trip Monday in Florida, Mark Masters of TSN reports. Head coach Sheldon Keefe said Sunday that Murray’s status hasn’t changed. It’s unclear at this time who will be available to serve as Ilya Samsonov’s backup. Toronto plays against Florida on Monday prior to visiting Tampa Bay on Tuesday.
Tampa Bay Lightning DFS SPIN
Nikita Kucherov delivered two power-play assists in a 7-4 loss to Ottawa on Saturday. It was his 80th assist of the season, his second time reaching that plateau (87 in 2018-19). Kucherov sits third in NHL scoring (110 points) and second in assists. His 48 power-play points are fourth-best overall and the best among non-Edmonton players in the league.
