Studs and Stacks – November 16
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
Play him on every slate…he’s just that good. 33 points in 18 games (leads the league) and is working on an 11-game point streak (eight goals and 15 assists).
The Pivot: Nikita Kucherov
Kuch hasn’t looked his usual self yet this season, but the Canucks are allowing the third most goals in the league and Tampa Bay is one of just a couple of teams not on a back-t0-back on the slate. Solid ceiling pivot.

The Low-Owned: Bo Horvat
Tied for second in the league in goals with 12 and is averaging over a point per game. It’s a tough matchup, but if the Isles are doing anything, he’ll be part of it.
The Value: Emmitt Finnie
Down on L2 but still skating on PP1 with the big boys.
STACKS
The Full: COL (Mackinnon-Nichushin-Necas-Lehkonen-Makar)
Mix and match these five (and go heavy on Mac and Makar).
The Mini: MIN (Kaprizov-Zuccarello)
Both the Wild and Golden Knights played last night, but Minnesota is at home for both, and these two have nice chemistry.
