Nashville Predators DFS SPIN
Roman Josi scored a goal and added an assist on the power play in Thursday’s 5-1 win over Tampa Bay. Josi picked up an assist on Filip Forsberg’s power-play marker early in the second period before adding a goal in the third, extending Nashville’s lead to 4-1. The 33-year-old Josi has eight points (three goals, five assists) in his last seven games. He’s up to six goals and 20 points through 26 games this season.
Toronto Maple Leafs DFS SPIN
William Nylander scored the game-winning goal Thursday in a 4-3 overtime win over Ottawa. He beat a screened Anton Forsberg with a wrister from the top of the left circle to make it 4-2 at 13:03 of the third. Nylander is back on the scoresheet and back on an offensive run after a three-game dry spell. He has a three-game, three-point run on the go. It’s modest, but at the same time, Nylander is playing alongside Auston Matthews on line one and that’s an absolute license to print money.
