Studs and Stacks – November 19
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: Connor McDavid
Playing like we’re used to seeing him play after a slowish start, snapping an eight-game point streak last time out (during which he had 16 points to bring him up to second in the league scoring). No issue even against a solid Washington defense.
The Pivot: David Pastrnak
Pasta is still getting his as he’s tied for fourth in the league in scoring in what was supposed to be a down year for the Bruins. Floor is there as well as he averages over three and a half shots per game as well.

The Low-Owned: Kirill Kaprizov
Ceiling is certainly there (and the floor is decent), but Kap will be lower owned because of the matchup (the Canes are good defensively). Still can pop off at any point.
The Value: Danila Yurov
Getting some PP2 time (and actually skated on L1 with Kap at practice yesterday).
STACKS
The Full: CAR (Aho-Ehlers-Svechnikov-Stankoven)
The Wild are very erratic defensively and the Hurricanes’ offense goes overlooked a lot of the time, but they are in a good spot tonight.
The Mini: ANA (Carlsson-Terry)
Ducks have cooled off a bit offensively, but against a Bruins team that allows the sixth most goals in the league, these two could be a nice little mini-stack.
