Before you set your Thursday NHL DFS lineups on DraftKings or FanDuel, you need to hear what Mike McClure has to say. McClure is a professional DFS player and predictive data engineer, specializing in player projections and advanced statistical analysis.
 
McClure has over $1 million in DFS winnings, and he's already cashed on multiple NHL tournament lineups this season.

On Wednesday, McClure locked in Chicago Blackhawks wing Patrick Kane on FanDuel. The result: Kane put five shots on net, scored a goal and tallied an assist on the way to 28 DFS points -- one of his better performances of the season.

For Thursday night, McClure is all over Edmonton Oilers wing Milan Lucic, who is $4,400 on FanDuel and $3,900 on DraftKings. After some big nights earlier in the season, Lucic has struggled to collect goals and assists recently. But that's dropped his price significantly, all the while he continues to put plenty of shots on net. He has great upside tonight against a Colorado squad that gives up three goals per game, so lock him in while his price is this low.

Roster Lucic and you'll have plenty of room to stack him teammate Leon Draisaitl, who is $6,800 on FanDuel and $6,200 on DraftKings. Draisaittl has regularly been playing on the same line as Connor McDavid, and points have poured in as a result. He's recorded six points in his last six games, so look for him to again post a big DFS score this evening against the Avs.

McClure is targeting another player who recently put up a hat trick and gets a dream matchup this evening. He's in position to go off for 20 or more points on FanDuel and double-digits on DraftKings. Picks like these could be the difference between winning your cash games and tournaments or going home with nothing... So what is the optimal NHL DFS tournament lineup for Thursday?
