Studs and Stacks – November 3
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: Auston Matthews
The floor and ceiling are there as usual for Matthews, and this game is full of fantasy goodness. He’ll be popular, and you can feel comfortable rostering him in all formats.
The Pivot: Leon Draisaitl
Love the goal-scoring upside he brings here (over McDavid) as he’s got nine in just 13 games, and the Blues can’t stop a lot right now. Good spot here.

The Low-Owned: Evgeni Malkin
People aren’t quite on the Pens the way that maybe they should be, and Malkin is a big reason why they’re playing as well as they are, ranking in a tie for third in the league in scoring with 18 points (including a league-high 15 assists).
The Value: Max Domi
Slots up onto PP1 in Nylander’s absence.
STACKS
The Full: TOR (Matthews-Tavares-Knies)
The Leafs’ offense flows through these three (and you can mix in Rielly as a fourth).
The Mini: CHI (Bedard-Nazar)
One fewer goal than McDavid-Draisaitl.
