Pittsburgh Penguins DFS SPIN
Kris Letang (lower body) wasn’t a full participant in Saturday’s practice and won’t make the trip to New Jersey for Sunday’s game versus the Devils, Seth Rorabaugh of TribLive.com reports. Letang wore a regular jersey during Saturday’s morning skate, but that was only for the purpose of him participating in power-play drills, and the veteran blueliner still isn’t sure when he’ll be ready to return to game action. He’s picked up two goals and 16 points through 29 contests this season.
New Jersey Devils DFS SPIN
Brendan Smith logged an assist, two shots on goal, four hits and two PIM in Thursday’s 4-3 overtime loss to the Kraken. The helper was Smith’s first point in nine games in January. The 33-year-old defenseman typically doesn’t add much in the way of offense — he’s at just five assists through 44 contests this season. He remains a solid source of toughness with 84 hits, 51 PIM, 50 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating while playing in a bottom-four role.
