Edmonton Oilers DFS SPIN
Devin Shore logged an assist and three shots on goal in Monday’s 3-2 win over the Sabres. Shore has a helper in each of his last two games, which is serving to keep him in the lineup. The 28-year-old forward has just seven points with 26 shots on net, 39 hits and a plus-6 rating through 37 contests overall. His place in the lineup could be in jeopardy once Evander Kane (upper body) can return, especially if head coach Jay Woodcroft opts to return to the seven-defensemen lineups that have brought the Oilers success in 2023.
Boston Bruins DFS SPIN
Dmitry Orlov scored a power-play goal and added two even-strength assists in Thursday’s 7-1 win over the Sabres. The veteran blueliner wasn’t expected to have a prominent offensive role for Boston when he was picked up from the Capitals last week, but Orlov has suddenly erupted for three goals and eight points in the last three games, including a goal and a helper with the man advantage. He almost certainly won’t keep up this pace, especially with Charlie McAvoy handling the point on the first power-play unit, but the Bruins’ attack is potent enough that even secondary pieces like Orlov might have more fantasy value than anticipated down the stretch.
