Below are optimal lineups for Monday's NHL DFS slate. You can read more about our favorite plays of the day in the Playbook Pro.

Today's cash game lineups are built around expensive centers Aleksander Barkov and Jeff Carter. The Panthers and Kings have the highest implied totals in Vegas tonight, so we're building cash lineups around those two stud centers. GPP lineups are working off a CAR @NYR game stack. There's some suspect goaltending in that game with Scott Darling facing Alexandar Georgiev. Both teams rank top five per my own little matchup stat tonight, but Vegas isn't quite as high on them, which gives them GPP appeal. Carolina has the fifth highest implied total, but the four big home favorites of the night are likely to draw the bulk of ownership.
