Toronto Maple Leafs DFS SPIN
Auston Matthews got a power-play assist in a 3-2 loss to Florida on Thursday in Game 2. He fired six shots and laid four hits. Matthews is doing his part this postseason — he has delivered points in every playoff game (five goals, six assists; eight games). But the Leafs are down 2-0 heading into Game 3 in Florida. Matthews is a great player, but he and Mitchell Marner (12 points) can’t do it all.
Florida Panthers DFS SPIN
Sergei Bobrovsky made 34 saves Thursday in a 3-2 win over the Maple Leafs in Game 2. He faltered early — the Leafs dominated play and were up 2-0 by 5:10 of the first period. And it looked like the clock had struck 12 on Bobrovsky’s luck this postseason. But he pulled his game together, stymying the Buds’ best as his team rallied with three unanswered goals. Bobrovsky has the ability to go on great runs over the span of a couple of weeks. These runs have been few and far between over the last few years, but right now, Bob looks like the Bob of old. Look out Leafs if he can keep this up.
