Edmonton Oilers DFS SPIN
Connor McDavid notched a power-play assist, six shots on goal and four hits in Wednesday’s 4-2 win over the Kings in Game 2. McDavid ended the regular season on a 16-game point streak, but it was promptly snapped in Game 1 on Monday. The 64-goal scorer has now gone four contests without a tally, matching his longest drought of the season. While the Kings are keeping McDavid in check so far, Leon Draisaitl has five points through two games. It’s tough to see McDavid staying quiet throughout the series — he’ll look to get back to his high-scoring ways in Friday’s Game 3.
Los Angeles Kings DFS SPIN
Adrian Kempe notched an assist, four shots on goal and two hits in Wednesday’s 4-2 loss to the Oilers in Game 2. Kempe set up Phillip Danault on the Kings’ first tally of the game. With two goals, one assist, 12 shots and six hits through two playoff outings, Kempe is making his presence felt in a variety of ways. The 26-year-old should continue to be a force as the series shifts to Los Angeles — he recorded 38 of his 67 points this season on home ice.
