Edmonton Oilers DFS SPIN

Zach Hyman (undisclosed) regards himself as still being day-to-day, Jason Gregor of OilersNation.com reports. Hyman took part in Friday's practice, but he didn't participate in the last few minutes of the power play section. He's been dealing with a lingering injury and the time off is addressing it. Hyman missed Edmonton's last two contests, and the 30-year-old's status for Saturday's game in Seattle hasn't been determined. He's having the best offensive season of his career, recording 29 goals and 72 points in 66 outings.

Seattle Kraken DFS SPIN

Adam Larsson registered an assist, four shots on goal and five blocked shots in Thursday's 2-1 overtime win over the Sharks. Larsson gained possession and dropped off a pass to Yanni Gourde, who then fed Oliver Bjorkstrand for a breakaway tally. The helper ended a three-game dry spell for Larsson. The 30-year-old defenseman has enjoyed a career year with 27 points, 124 shots on net, 181 hits, 144 blocked shots and a plus-24 rating through 68 contests.
