Florida Panthers DFS SPIN
Sergei Bobrovsky kicked out 36 of 39 shots in a 4-3 victory over Carolina in Game 4 on Wednesday. For the fourth straight contest, the Hurricanes outshot Florida, but Bobrovsky stopped 168 of 174 shots during the series to help the Panthers sweep Carolina. He’s up to 11-2 with a 2.21 GAA and a .935 save percentage in 14 playoff appearances this year. Given how Bobrovsky’s done in the postseason, it’s safe to assume he’ll be in net for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
Vegas Golden Knights DFS SPIN
Adin Hill stopped all 23 Stars shots in a 6-0 victory over Dallas in Game 6 on Monday. After Vegas was limited to four goals over the previous two contests, Hill got plenty of offensive support Monday. As it turned out, he didn’t need it. This was his second shutout over the span of just four contests. Hill has a 7-3 record, 2.07 GAA and .937 save percentage in 11 playoff appearances this year. Not bad for a 27-year-old who had no NHL postseason experience going into these playoffs and was acquired by Vegas from San Jose over the summer of 2022 for just a 2024 fourth-round pick.
