Florida Panthers DFS SPIN
Eric Staal scored a shorthanded goal, dished two hits and added two PIM in Saturday’s 5-2 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 1. Staal opened the scoring midway through the first period. The 38-year-old has two points over his last two games since he snapped a 12-game skid. While he’s far from a focal piece of the Panthers’ offense, he can still chip in a bit from the fourth line. He has four points, 11 shots on net, 13 hits and a minus-3 rating through 17 playoff contests.
Vegas Golden Knights DFS SPIN
Jonathan Marchessault scored a power-play goal on three shots and added three hits in Saturday’s 5-2 win over the Panthers in Game 1. Marchessault has scored all 10 of his playoff goals this spring in the last 11 contests. He tied the game at 1-1 late in the first period to give the Golden Knights some momentum after a sluggish start. The winger continues to be a leader on offense with 18 points in as many contests, and he’s added 65 shots on net, 49 hits and a plus-14 rating while playing on the top line.
