Dallas Stars DFS SPIN
Thomas Harley notched an assist and two shots on goal in Monday’s 2-1 win over the Kraken in Game 7. Harley turned some heads in the second round by getting on the scoresheet in six of seven games versus Seattle. He had a goal and six helpers, and he’s riding a four-game point streak heading into the Western Conference Finals. The 21-year-old defenseman appears to be a fixture on the Stars’ third pairing, though that hasn’t stopped him from chipping in on offense. He also has 15 shots on net, 15 hits and a plus-4 rating.
Vegas Golden Knights DFS SPIN
Adin Hill stopped 38 of 40 shots Sunday, helping the Golden Knights grab a series-clinching 5-2 Game 6 win over the Oilers. Hill has shone in net for Vegas since taking over for the injured Laurent Brossoit (lower body). He has a .927 save percentage through four games, two of which he started. Hill doesn’t have much playoff experience, but he’s hot coming into the Western Conference Final, while Brossoit’s recovery timetable remains uncertain.
