Edmonton Oilers DFS SPIN
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins picked up an assist, added three shots on goal and went plus-2 in Tuesday’s 6-3 win over the Kings in Game 5. His helper Tuesday was his first even-strength point since April 8. Nugent-Hopkins has an assist in four of the five games in the first-round series against the Kings, and he’s added 12 shots on net, six hits and a minus-1 rating. The 30-year-old continues to be a key playmaker in the Oilers’ top six.
Los Angeles Kings DFS SPIN
Anze Kopitar notched an assist and four hits in Tuesday’s 6-3 loss to the Oilers in Game 5. Kopitar has two goals and five helpers through five playoff contests, but the Kings are now behind 3-2 in the series. The 35-year-old was reunited with winger Alex Iafallo after Quinton Byfield was demoted to the third line mid-game. Kopitar is talented enough to be productive regardless of linemates, but he should benefit from some familiarity if that change sticks.
