Before you enter enter a daily fantasy hockey tournament for NHL action on Monday night, you need to hear what professional DFS player Mike McClure has to say. 

McClure is a professional DFS player and SportsLine predictive data engineer, specializing in player projections and advanced statistical analysis. Mike has over $1 Million in DFS winnings in addition to being recognized in the book "Fantasy Football (and Baseball) for Smart People: How to Turn your hobby into a Fortune" as a top Daily Fantasy Player.

Now McClure has exhaustively studied matchups, injuries, and projected lineups for Monday night and locked in his optimal DFS lineup. And he's sharing it over at SportsLine. 

One player McClure absolutely loves: Chicago's Brandon Saad, who's coming off an incredible performance that saw him produce seven shots on goal in one period against the Panthers. The Blackhawks' first line, which features Jonathan Toews, Saad and Richard Panik, was dominant against Florida and directed 19 shots on target in its first six shifts.

Saad is a complete steal at just $5,800 on FanDuel and DraftKings, leaving you plenty of salary cap room to roster a big name like Blackhawks center Jonathan Toews.

Toews is in a favorable spot to make his $6,500 price tag a steal. In his last outing, he scored one goal and produced two assists in Chicago's 4-1 victory over the Panthers. The Blackhawks' captain will try to duplicate that type of performance on Monday night at home against an Anaheim team allowing 2.78 goals per game.

McClure is also targeting another star player who has a price tag that makes him a must-play on Monday. Picks like these could be the difference between winning your tournaments and going home empty-handed.
