Studs and Stacks – November 1
The NHL season is in full swing, and daily fantasy hockey enthusiasts continue to get in on the action on DraftKings and FanDuel. In this article, we spotlight today’s top NHL DFS studs and stack recommendations, focusing on high-upside players and synergistic line combinations that can elevate your lineups. Whether you’re targeting cash games or GPPs, these picks are designed to maximize value and exposure. Let’s dive into the matchups and identify the key players to target.
FORWARDS
The Stud: Auston Matthews
Just five goals so far, but he does tend to start slow; still, his floor is great as he does have eight points in 11 games as well as 46 shots. Philly’s defense is just not that good, so I’m fine with him in all formats.
The Pivot: Zach Werenski
Dude has a floor nearly equal to that of a star forward, and he’s about the best non-Makar defenseman in hockey. Eight points in 10 games while averaging almost four shots per game.

The Low-Owned: Drake Batherson
Might be playing the best hockey of his career with four goals and five assists in his last five games, and he’s really stepped up in Brady Tkachuk’s absence. Decent matchup tonight as well.
The Value: Kiefer Sherwood
Nine goals in 12 games this season, and the Canucks get a sieve of a Wild defense tonight.
STACKS
The Full: EDM (McDavid/Draisaitl/Nugent-Hopkins/Bouchard)
One of the highest upside offenses gets one of the worst defenses. Chicago has shown that they can score from time to time, so this game could have some shootout potential.
The Mini: MON (Suzuki-Caufield)
The Senators allow the second most goals in the league, and these two are the main source of Montreal’s offense.
