Seattle Kraken DFS SPIN
Martin Jones (hand) took part in Saturday’s practice, Scott Malone of Root Sports reports. It appears as though Jones will be available for Game 1 against Colorado on Tuesday. This doesn’t come as much of a surprise after the Kraken returned netminder Joey Daccord to AHL Coachella Valley on Friday. Jones posted a 27-13-3 record during the 2022-23 campaign with a 2.99 GAA and an .887 save percentage in 48 appearances.
Colorado Avalanche DFS SPIN
Cale Makar (lower body) will be in the lineup against the Kraken for Game 1 on Tuesday, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports. Makar will return following a seven-game absence due to his lower-body issue. Prior to getting hurt, the blueliner notched five points in his previous five outings, including a pair of power-play helpers. With Makar back in the lineup, he should return to quarterbacking the No. 1 power-play unit and should offer elite fantasy value.
