Vegas Golden Knights DFS SPIN
William Karlsson scored two goals and registered an assist in Vegas’ 6-0 victory over Dallas in Game 6 on Monday. Karlsson went through a bit of a quiet patch from May 21-27 in which he was limited to one point (a goal) over four contests, but that mini-slump is clearly behind him. He’s up to 10 goals and 14 points in 17 playoff outings this year. His first marker Monday, which gave Vegas a 2-0 edge midway through the first period, was also his first power-play goal of the postseason.
Florida Panthers DFS SPIN
Matthew Tkachuk supplied two power-play goals in Florida’s 4-3 victory over Carolina in Game 4 on Wednesday. Tkachuk found the back of the net midway through the first period to give Florida a 2-0 edge. Carolina was able to rally back, but Tkachuk scored again with just five seconds left in the third frame to win the game and complete the series sweep. The 25-year-old has been a huge part of the Panthers’ postseason success, providing nine goals and 21 points in 16 outings. He’s also on a four-game scoring streak going into the Stanley Cup Finals.
