Toronto Maple Leafs DFS SPIN
Ilya Samsonov will patrol the crease on the road versus Nashville on Saturday, Mark Masters of TSN reports. Samsonov has found himself benched for the last two matchups after getting the hook versus the Lightning on Oct. 21. In that contest, the Russian netminder gave up three goals on just four shots for a ridiculous 13.85 GAA and .250 save percentage. Coach Sheldon Keefe doesn’t seem to have any concerns about utilizing Joseph Woll, so Samsonov will need to rediscover his game soon to avoid dropping to the backup spot.
Nashville Predators DFS SPIN
Juuse Saros is expected to play between the pipes at home versus Toronto on Saturday, Mark Masters of TSN reports. Saros has a 3-4-0 record, 2.58 GAA and .910 save percentage in seven contests this season. This will be the eighth consecutive game he’s appeared in to start the campaign, which both highlights how important he is to Nashville and how little work backup Kevin Lankinen is likely to see this year, provided Saros stays healthy. The Maple Leafs rank 10th offensively with an average of 3.71 goals per game.
