Pittsburgh Penguins DFS SPIN
Tristan Jarry (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday retroactive to Jan. 2. Jarry’s designation for IR doesn’t change his recovery timeline as he could technically be activated ahead of the team’s clash with Winnipeg on Friday. Having said that, with Jarry just resuming skating Tuesday, he probably should be expected to miss the club’s upcoming back-to-back against the Jets and Hurricanes on Friday and Saturday, respectively. In his stead, Casey DeSmith and Dustin Tokarski figure to split the upcoming games.
Carolina Hurricanes DFS SPIN
Brent Burns scored a goal on three shots in a 6-2 win over the Blue Jackets on Thursday. Burns extended Carolina’s lead to 2-0 in the first period, beating Joonas Korpisalo to the far post on a wraparound. The goal snaps a three game scoreless spell for Burns who now has six goals and 23 assists in 42 games. The 37-year-old blueliner isn’t likely to post another 70-plus point season, but he’s been productive in his first season with Hurricanes, playing alongside Jaccob Slavin on the top pairing.
