Tampa Bay Lightning DFS SPIN
Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 22 shots in Monday’s 4-1 win over the Kraken. Vince Dunn ended his shutout bid midway through the third period on a point shot that deflected off Ross Colton’s leg, but otherwise Vasilevskiy stood tall as he won his fourth straight start and reached 20 wins for the seventh straight season. The 28-year-old has allowed two goals or less in 10 of 15 starts since the beginning of December, a hot streak that has improved his numbers on the campaign to a 2.45 GAA and .918 save percentage.
Vancouver Canucks DFS SPIN
Elias Pettersson picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday’s 4-3 loss to the Panthers. The 24-year-old continues to rack up points, even if he isn’t getting a whole lot of help from his teammates. Pettersson has found the scoresheet in five straight games and has five multi-point performances in 11 contests since returning from a brief absence due to illness in mid-December, piling up five goals and 18 points over that stretch.
