Nashville Predators DFS SPIN
Roman Josi scored a power-play goal on four shots in Thursday’s 4-2 loss to the Kraken. Josi’s goal briefly tied the game at 2-2 before Brian Dumoulin restored the lead for Seattle. Over his last three games, Josi has two goals and an assist. The 33-year-old blueliner is up to seven points (three on the power play) with 36 shots on net, 13 blocked shots, six PIM and a minus-1 rating over 10 contests.
Edmonton Oilers DFS SPIN
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins logged an assist, three shots on goal and two PIM in Thursday’s 4-3 loss to the Stars. Nugent-Hopkins set up an Evander Kane tally in the first period. This was Nugent-Hopkins’ second game in a row with a helper. With the Oilers flailing early in the season, Leon Draisaitl is alongside Connor McDavid on the top line, allowing Nugent-Hopkins to center the second line. That tends to lead to reduced offense for the 30-year-old, though he would benefit if the power play got going. He’s at two tallies, six helpers, 22 shots on net, 10 PIM and a minus-3 rating through nine contests overall.
