Edmonton Oilers DFS SPIN
Connor McDavid recorded an assist and five shots on goal in Saturday’s 5-1 loss to the Panthers. McDavid reached the 30-assist mark for the season with his helper on Zach Hyman’s second-period tally. The assist also extended McDavid’s point streak to 12 games (seven tallies, 21 helpers). The superstar center’s surge has him at 41 points, 80 shots on net, 39 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 26 contests overall.
New York Islanders DFS SPIN
Semyon Varlamov stopped 36 of 40 shots in a 5-3 loss to Montreal on Saturday. Varlamov was the story of the game. He stood on his head early while he waited for his teammates to wake up, stopping 15 shots in the first period and 20 of the first 21 shots he faced. Without him, the final score could have easily been much worse. Varlamov is a luxury for the Isles and great fantasy insurance for managers. The loss was his first in his past five starts (4-1-0). Overall, he’s 6-4-1 with a 2.73 GAA and .919 save percentage.
