New York Rangers DFS SPIN
Igor Shesterkin stopped 26 of 29 shots in Tuesday’s 4-0 loss to the Capitals. Washington’s final goal was scored into an empty net. Shesterkin didn’t play badly, but he was left high and dry by some passive play by his defense that allowed Caps skaters to go just about wherever they wanted in the Rangers zone. It’s just his second regulation loss in December, and the reigning Vezina Trophy winner has a 7-2-1 record on the month with a 2.27 GAA and .920 save percentage.
Tampa Bay Lightning DFS SPIN
Andrei Vasilevskiy made 25 saves in Wednesday’s 4-1 win over the Canadiens. Kaiden Guhle broke up Vasilevskiy’s shutout bid with 2:39 remaining, but the game was well in hand by that point. This outing added to Vasilevskiy’s dominance over Montreal, as he came in with a career 13-1-2 record, 1.92 GAA and .938 save percentage against the Canadiens. The Russian netminder has played well regardless of opponent recently, allowing two or fewer goals in all but one of his last 10 appearances.
