New York Rangers DFS SPIN
Igor Shesterkin saved 34 of 36 shots in a 5-2 win over New Jersey in Game 6 on Saturday. Shesterkin allowed the opening goal to Curtis Lazar midway through the first period, but he shook it off and went on to have another great game. He’s surrendered two or fewer goals in five of six playoff starts this year, giving him a 3-3 record, 1.79 GAA and .939 save percentage in the first round. Although nothing has been announced yet, it would come as no surprise if New York started Shesterkin in Game 7 on Monday.
New Jersey Devils DFS SPIN
Although Vitek Vanecek didn’t face a shot, he was briefly in net during New Jersey’s 5-2 loss to the Rangers in Game 6 on Saturday. With the Devils down 5-1 after Braden Schneider scored midway through the third frame, starter Akira Schmid was replaced by Vanecek. The Devils soon pulled Vanecek too in favor of the extra attacker, so the goaltender logged only 2:18 of ice time. The 27-year-old wasn’t charged with the loss and has a 0-2 record, 4.43 GAA and .827 save percentage in three playoff appearances this year. Although Schmid struggled Saturday, he was great overall in the first round, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see him start over Vanecek in Game 7 on Monday.
