Dallas Stars DFS SPIN
Jake Oettinger stopped 20 of 24 shots in a 5-1 loss to Minnesota in Game 3 on Friday. Oettinger was amazing in the regular season, posting a 37-11-11 record, 2.37 GAA and .919 save percentage in 62 appearances, but he hasn’t lived up to expectations in the first round. He’s surrendered 10 goals on 98 shots over the last three playoff contests and Dallas is now trailing 2-1 in its series against the Wild. Still, given how important Oettinger was in getting Dallas to the postseason in the first place, it wouldn’t be surprising to see him continue to start over Scott Wedgewood when the series resumes Sunday.
Minnesota Wild DFS SPIN
Joel Eriksson Ek (undisclosed) is still being evaluated after leaving Friday’s 5-1 win over Dallas early, Sarah McLellan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Eriksson Ek lasted only one shift prior to exiting Game 3. It was his first appearance since April 6 due to a leg injury, so it wouldn’t be a surprise if he aggravated the issue. The Wild expect to know more about Eriksson Ek’s status prior to Game 4 on Sunday.
