Toronto Maple Leafs DFS SPIN
Ilya Samsonov made 19 saves in a 7-2 victory over the Lightning in Game 2. It was a sweet rebound for Samsonov, who struggled mightily in Game 1 and was eventually pulled. He made several sharp saves against the potent Bolts offense and proved he’s a stable and effective option the Leafs’ blue paint.
Tampa Bay Lightning DFS SPIN
Andrei Vasilevskiy made 30 saves in a 7-2 loss to the Maple Leafs in Game 2 on Thursday night. It was a sub-par outing for Vasilevskiy, who had allowed two goals before he made a save. He remains among the very best in the world and will certainly rebound. But with Victor Hedman (undisclosed) and Erik Cernak (head) both out, Vasilevskiy will need to dial his game in to near perfection in the games ahead.
