New York Rangers DFS Spin

Igor Shesterkin stopped 21-of-22 shots in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the New York Islanders. Shesterkin was nicked for an Andy Andreoff goal early in the third period, but that would be all the scoring damage to occur on his night's watch. This was the 25-year-old netminder's seventh start of the campaign in which he has allowed one or no goals. He has not allowed more than two to score in any of his last four starts. The Rangers will meet up with the Bruins on Friday, when they next take to the ice.

Boston Bruins DFS Spin

Jeremy Swayman stopped 24-o-f-25 shots in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Buffalo Sabres. Swayman went down 1-0 on a Kyle Okposo goal during the first period, but the Bruins would respond with four goals of their own before the end of the stanza. From that point onward, it was easy street for the goaltender. Wednesday's start marked a nice bounce-back after the 23-year-old netminder was shook for four goals versus the Flames last time he hit the crease. Swayman has largely been dependable this season, allowing two or fewer goals in seven of his nine appearances. Next up for the Bruins, a Friday morning matchup with the New York Rangers.
