Florida Panthers DFS SPIN
Sergei Bobrovsky allowed four goals on 33 shots in Saturday’s 5-2 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 1. Bobrovsky’s five-game winning streak came to an end in his worst effort since Game 6 of the first round. The 34-year-old wasn’t able to fend off the Golden Knights’ push in the third period after keeping things even through the first two frames. Bobrovsky has still built up enough good play to remain the Panthers’ starting goalie — this was just his third loss this postseason. He’ll likely be back between the pipes in Monday’s Game 2.
Vegas Golden Knights DFS SPIN
Jack Eichel logged two assists, two shots on goal and three hits in Saturday’s 5-2 win over the Panthers in Game 1. Eichel played a solid game early on, and he was rewarded with two helpers in the third period as the Golden Knights pulled away with the win. The center has posted five multi-point efforts in the playoffs, but this was his first since Game 5 of the second round versus the Oilers. Overall, he has six tallies, 14 assists, 61 shots on net, 22 hits, 23 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating through 18 appearances.
