Studs and Stacks – November 26
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
Highest ceiling on the slate with an incredible floor to match. Don’t overthink him in your cash games, and you don’t need to worry about chalk for tournaments on a giant slate like this.
The Pivot: Nikita Kucherov
Kuch is heating up after a slow start, notching three goals and adding seven helpers in his last five games. Calgary’s defense isn’t intimidating at all and the Bolts are at home.

The Low-Owned: Cutter Gauthier
Gauthier is second the league in shots with 97 and has 13 goals and 13 helpers in 22 games. The Ducks face the Canucks who have allowed the most goals in the league.
The Value: Calle Jarnkrok
Up on L1/PP1 and in a good spot against Columbus.
STACKS
The Full: COL (Mackinnon-Necas-Lehkonen-Makar)
Avs are the biggest favorites on the slate, but with 30 teams in play, they won’t be as chalky as they should be, so you can lean into them if you like.
The Mini: TB (Kucherov-Hagel)
Hagel has been moved up onto L1 and these two have responded with seven goals and 11 assists between them over their past five games.
