Studs and Stacks – November 11
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.
STUDS
The Stud: Nathan Mackinnon
Dude is on another level with five goals and seven assists in his last five games, and he leads the league with 29 points in 16 games.
The Pivot: William Nylander
Has taken over as the Leafs’ best offensive option with a 10-game point streak (seven goals and 12 assists), and the matchup against the Bruins is a good one.

The Low-Owned: Leo Carlsson
10-game point streak of his own (eight goals and 11 assists), and he’s a solid tournament option if you think the Avs’ defense has an off night.
The Value: Macklin Celebrini
The value here is that he’s second in the league in scoring and facing a bad Wild defense, but he’s going to go overlooked and is priced below his ceiling.
STACKS
The Full: COL (Mackinnon-Lehkonen-Nichushkin-Makar)
The Avs might be the best team in hockey right now, and their offense is incredibly hot. They get a bad Ducks defense tonight as well. Chalky, but definitely worth it.
The Mini: MIN (Kaprizov-Zuccarello)
We all know how good Kap is, and he and Zuccarello have some nice chemistry (and having him back in the lineup has allowed the Wild to play their usual line combos, which ups the ceiling of the whole team). Great matchup against the Sharks tonight as well.
