Edmonton Oilers DFS SPIN
Ryan McLeod scored a pair of goals in Thursday’s 6-3 win over the Devils. McLeod put Edmonton ahead 1-0 just 24 seconds into the game before capping the scoring in the third, beating Vitek Vanecek with a wrist shot after forcing an offensive-zone turnover. It’s just the second multi-point game for McLeod this year — he’d gone scoreless in his previous six contests. The 24-year-old center now has four goals and nine points through 30 games in a bottom-six role.
New York Rangers DFS SPIN
Igor Shesterkin turned aside 31 of 33 shots in Tuesday’s 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs. Shesterkin’s now won back-to-back starts, allowing just three goals on 55 shots in that span, after dropping his previous three outings while posting an uncharacteristic .839 save percentage. The 27-year-old improved to 12-7-0 with a .908 save percentage and a 2.86 GAA on the season. He’ll likely be back in net Friday for a home matchup with the Oilers.
