New York Rangers DFS SPIN
Igor Shesterkin made 39 saves in a 2-1 shootout loss to the Lightning on Thursday. He allowed two goals in six rounds of the shootout. What a duel with the 2019 Vezina winner, Andrei Vasilevskiy. Both goalies dazzled and stymied snipers on both sides. The only puck that got past Shesterkin came off Brayden Point’s stick from the low slot in the third period. Shesty’s now 17-6-5 on the season.
Florida Panthers DFS SPIN
Spencer Knight gave up four goals on 34 shots in Friday’s 4-0 loss to the Hurricanes. The Panthers’ offense went from seven goals Thursday to nothing Friday, giving Knight no support in his first start since Dec. 19. The 21-year-old also had some trouble when the Panthers were shorthanded — three of the Hurricanes’ four goals were on the power play. This was Knight’s third straight loss, and he’s allowed 14 goals over that span. He’s now at 8-6-3 with a 3.00 GAA and a .907 save percentage in 17 appearances. With Knight’s struggles, expect Sergei Bobrovsky to continue to see a majority of the starts when both are healthy.
