Edmonton Oilers DFS Spin
Connor McDavid notched a power-play assist, four shots on goal, a minus-2 rating and two hits in Saturday’s 7-5 loss to the Jets. McDavid has been limited to a single helper just twice during his current 10-game point streak. That was the case Saturday, as he set up Leon Draisaitl’s hat-trick tally in the second period. McDavid is rarely quiet — he’s had 35 multi-point efforts this season, compared to just 29 contests with one point or fewer. The 26-year-old superstar has a career-best 52 tallies with 70 helpers, 285 shots on net, 69 hits and a plus-8 rating through 64 outings. He’s one point shy of matching his career high of 123, set last season.
Buffalo Sabres DFS Spin
Tage Thompson scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Saturday’s 5-3 win over Tampa Bay. He got the Sabres on the board late in the first period, zipping a shot past Brian Elliott from the faceoff circle, then set up Jack Quinn for the eventual game-winner with 14 seconds left in the second. Thompson has seven goals and 13 points over the last nine games, and his 42 goals and 82 points on the season put him in the top five in the NHL.
