Edmonton Oilers DFS SPIN
Leon Draisaitl scored a power-play goal on three shots in Saturday’s 5-4 win over the Kings in Game 6. Draisaitl led the way for the Oilers in the first round, racking up seven goals and four assists over six contests. The 27-year-old added 25 shots on net, 11 hits and a plus-4 rating. With the Oilers often opting for 11 forwards in the lineup, Draisaitl has seen more minutes with a variety of linemates, which is a tactic that will likely continue into the second-round series versus the Golden Knights.
Vegas Golden Knights DFS SPIN
Mark Stone scored a goal, added two assists and went plus-2 in Thursday’s 4-1 win over the Jets in Game 5. Stone’s goal was the game-winner, and he also set up both of Chandler Stephenson’s tallies. With three goals and five assists over five first-round contests, Stone looks to be in peak form despite missing the last three months of the regular season. He’ll look to continue being an impactful scorer in the second round.
