Winnipeg Jets DFS SPIN
Nikolaj Ehlers (upper body) remains day-to-day in the lead-up to Game 1 against the Golden Knights on Tuesday, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports. Ehlers racked up seven points in his previous six contests before missing the season finale against the Avalanche on Thursday. Injuries limited the 27-year-old winger to just 45 games this year, but he still nearly reached the 40-point threshold. If he plays, Ehlers should be in a second-line role alongside Vladislav Namestnikov and Blake Wheeler.
Vegas Golden Knights DFS SPIN
Mark Stone (back) was activated from long-term injured reserve Monday ahead of his return to the lineup Tuesday in Game 1 versus Winnipeg. Stone last played Jan. 12 against Florida and underwent back surgery Jan. 31. In 43 appearances this season, he has supplied 17 goals, 38 points and 113 shots on net. Stone has been skating on the third line during practices but should slot in on the Golden Knights’ top power-play unit.
