Dallas Stars DFS SPIN
Matt Duchene notched a pair of power-play assists, three shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Wednesday’s 5-4 loss to the Panthers.
Duchene helped out on third-period tallies by Mason Marchment and Thomas Harley. The pair of helpers snapped Duchene’s three-game dry spell. The 32-year-old center has generally been pretty good in a second-line role, though there’s concern that he could slump if Tyler Seguin (undisclosed) misses time. Duchene has six goals, 13 assists, six power-play points, 51 shots on net and a plus-6 rating through 23 outings.
Washington Capitals DFS SPIN
Darcy Kuemper surrendered three goals on just five shots before he was pulled in the first period of Monday’s 6-0 loss to the Coyotes.
It was a brutal night for Kuemper against his former team, as he surrendered three goals on the first five shots he faced before he was replaced by Charlie Lindgren midway through the opening period. The 33-year-old Kuemper falls to 5-6-2 with an .887 save percentage on the season. While he’s playing poorly, he may be at risk of losing time to Lindgren.
