Florida Panthers DFS SPIN
Matthew Tkachuk scored a goal on three shots in Monday’s 3-1 loss to the Bruins. Tkachuk got Florida on the scoresheet midway through the second period, grabbing a loose puck in the slot before beating Linus Ullmark. Tkachuk had an excellent first season with the Panthers, recording a career-high 109 points (40 goals, 69 assists) in 79 regular-season games. Florida will likely need the 25-year-old winger to keep producing at that rate to have any chance of upsetting Boston.
Boston Bruins DFS SPIN
Patrice Bergeron (upper body/illness) is questionable for Game 2 against Florida on Wednesday, Conor Ryan of Boston.com reports. Bergeron is on the mend from an upper-body issue and an illness. He didn’t play in Boston’s series-opening 3-1 win over the Panthers on Monday. Bergeron produced 27 goals and 58 points in 78 games during the regular season.
