Seattle Kraken DFS SPIN
Jaden Schwartz provided an assist, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday’s 3-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 1. Schwartz set up Alexander Wennberg’s go-ahead goal in the second period, which stood as the game-winner. With four goals and an assist over his last eight appearances in the regular season, Schwartz is right in line with expectations in his second-line role. The winger should provide solid offense and a bit of a physical edge in a similar role during the playoffs.
Colorado Avalanche DFS SPIN
Nathan MacKinnon logged an assist, seven shots on goal and two hits in Tuesday’s 3-1 loss to the Kraken in Game 1. MacKinnon put up 10 goals and six assists over eight regular-season games in April, though all of those points came in five multi-point efforts. Tuesday was his first single-point contest since March 22. The 27-year-old center posted 111 points in 71 outings in 2022-23, and he’ll continue to be a focal point of the Avalanche’s offense, though the Kraken’s defense was able to frustrate him in Game 1.
