Edmonton Oilers DFS SPIN
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins posted a power-play assist in Tuesday’s 4-2 win over the Flyers. Nugent-Hopkins extended his point streak to four games (three goals, four assists) when he set up a Leon Draisaitl equalizer in the third period. This gave Nugent-Hopkins a career-best 70 points, 38 of which have come with the man advantage this season. The 29-year-old forward has added 139 shots on net, 28 PIM and a plus-5 rating through 58 contests, and there’s still plenty of season left for him to add to his personal-best performance.
Pittsburgh Penguins DFS SPIN
Jeff Petry didn’t practice Tuesday due to an illness, Dave Molinari of Pittsburgh Hockey Now reports. Petry can be considered questionable for Thursday’s game versus the Oilers. Check back for confirmation on the 35-year-old defender’s status prior to puck drop against Edmonton.
