Ottawa Senators DFS SPIN
Dominik Kubalik scored a goal on three shots in Thursday’s 4-2 loss to St. Louis. Kubalik went 10 games without a goal from early November to early December but has now bent the twine in two of his last three outings. With just seven points through the opening 24 games of the season, the 28-year-old winger is well off his pace from previous years and looks poised to miss the 30-point mark for the first time in his five-year NHL career.
Dallas Stars DFS SPIN
Jamie Benn logged a power-play assist in Monday’s 6-3 win over the Red Wings. This was Benn’s third straight game with a helper, and two of those assists have come on the power play. He’s notched five points over six games to start December. The 34-year-old forward has 20 points (six on the power play), 42 shots on net, 25 hits, 17 PIM and a plus-3 rating through 27 contests this season, providing solid offense while playing mainly on the third line at even strength.
