Toronto Maple Leafs DFS SPIN
Auston Matthews scored a goal on a season-high 11 shots in Monday’s 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders. Matthews put the Leafs ahead 1-0 in the first period, finishing a feed from Mitchell Marner in the slot for his seventh power-play goal of the year. The 26-year-old Matthews now has five goals and seven points in his last five games following an uncharacteristic slump that saw him log just two points over seven games. He’s up to 19 goals, tied with Nikita Kucherov for the league lead, and 28 points through 25 games this season.
New York Rangers DFS SPIN
Mika Zibanejad scored a goal on three shots in Sunday’s 4-1 win over Los Angeles. After a scoreless first period, Zibanejad put the Rangers ahead 1-0 midway through the second, one-timing a cross-ice feed from Vincent Trocheck on the power play. After his eight-game point streak ended in Saturday’s shutout loss to Washington, the 30-year-old Zibanejad appears to be back on track — he has five goals and 11 points in his last 10 contests. Overall, he’s up to 21 points (seven goals, 14 assists) through 26 games this season.
