Tampa Bay Lightning DFS SPIN
Andrei Vasilevskiy turned aside 17 shots in Tuesday’s 3-2 loss to the Canadiens. The All-Star goalie gave up two tallies in the first period, looking a bit shaky on the first one, and the Lightning were never able to climb out of the early hole. Vasilevskiy continues to struggle in March, going 3-4-2 in nine starts with a 3.42 GAA and .883 save percentage, and while he’s capable of flipping the switch once the playoffs start, it’s an ominous sign for Tampa Bay’s chances of making a deep run.
Ottawa Senators DFS SPIN
Dylan Gambrell scored his second goal of the season in Tuesday’s 2-1 loss to the Bruins. The 26-year-old opened the scoring midway through the first period, beating Linus Ullmark on a lightning-quick wraparound, but it was all the offense Ottawa could muster. Gambrell’s only other tally this season came back on Nov. 1, and the bottom-six forward has just seven points in 51 games.
