Florida Panthers DFS SPIN
Matthew Tkachuk registered two assists in a 6-2 loss to St. Louis on Tuesday. Tkachuk has 27 goals and 75 points in 54 contests this season. He’s been red hot lately, earning six multi-point games over his last eight outings. Tkachuk’s also on pace to surpass his 2021-22 offensive total, which is very impressive given that the 25-year-old finished last season with 104 points in 82 contests.
Washington Capitals DFS SPIN
Darcy Kuemper stopped 27 shots in Tuesday’s 3-2 loss to Carolina. Both teams did all their scoring before the 12-minute mark of the second period, with Kuemper and Frederik Andersen locking things down from there. Despite his efforts, it was another disappointing result for Kuemper, who has gone 4-6-0 over his last 10 starts with a 2.96 GAA and .902 save percentage.
