With no football to compete for attention, the NHL had a bustling weekend, leading to a unique Monday matchup where the Nashville Predators will take on the Ottawa Senators. This game presents a prime opportunity for daily fantasy sports (DFS) players to build competitive lineups under DraftKings' single-game format.

The recommended captain for this lineup is Drake Batherson of the Senators, who brings solid offensive stats, contributing significantly to Ottawa's offense. Complementing Batherson, Jonathan Marchessault and Steven Stamkos are key figures from Nashville, despite some recent struggles. Tim Stutzle, a rising star for the Senators, is also featured, showcasing his consistent scoring ability. Rounding out the lineup is Thomas Chabot, a defensive anchor for Ottawa, and Fedor Svechkov, a promising rookie, who offers considerable upside for DFS players.
