Pittsburgh Penguins DFS Spin
Tristan Jarry allowed one goal on 21 shots during Thursday’s 5-1 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Penguins managed to score two goals in the first period (Danton Heinen and Sidney Crosby) and they never looked back. Jarry allowed one goal to Pierre-Edouard Bellemare in the second frame, which made it 2-1, but the Pens managed to hang on. The Pens goalie has now won back-to-back games and he’s given up just one goal during this stretch. He now owns a 27-11-6 record with a 2.30 goals-against-average and a .921 save percentage this season.
Carolina Hurricanes DFS Spin
Frederik Andersen allowed four goals on 33 shots during Thursday’s 4-0 loss to the Washington Capitals.Two of the four goals Andersen allowed came while the Capitals were on the man-advantage. Tonight’s loss puts an end to Andersen’s personal four-game winning streak. He now has 29-8-2 record with a 2.08 goals-against-average and a .928 save percentage this season. Despite tonight’s loss, the 32-year-old will still have plenty of fantasy value down the stretch.
