Los Angeles Kings DFS SPIN
Viktor Arvidsson notched two power-play assists, four shots on goal and three blocked shots in Monday’s 4-3 overtime win over the Oilers. Arvidsson had a hand in Anze Kopitar’s game-tying tally late in the third period and Alex Iafallo’s game-winner in overtime. The 30-year-old Arvidsson has found a playmaking touch with five helpers (four on the power play) over his last two contests. The winger recorded a career-best 25 power-play points in the regular season while picking up 26 tallies and 33 assists through 77 outings overall.
Edmonton Oilers DFS SPIN
Leon Draisaitl scored two goals on six shots and added two hits in Monday’s 4-3 overtime loss to the Kings. Draisaitl opened the scoring 6:57 into the first period and added another tally to give the Oilers a 3-1 lead in the third. That was it for Edmonton’s offense, and the Kings rallied from behind to take Game 1 of the first round. Draisaitl had 11 goals and 21 helpers over the last 17 contests of the regular season, and he’s already in excellent postseason form. He’ll continue to be a key part of the Oilers’ offense throughout their playoff run.
