Studs and Stacks – November 5
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: William Nylander
Back from a few games off for injury and had two goals last game; 18 points in just 10 games (tied for fourth in the league with three games fewer than those ahead of him). Leafs get the Mammoth on the second half of a back-t0-back.
The Pivot: Zach Werenski
Don’t care that he’s a defenseman – he’s got the floor/ceiling of a forward. 10 points (four goals) in 12 games and is averaging over three and a half shots per game.

The Low-Owned: Connor Bedard
Star who is going to be a little lower-owned. 16 points in 13 games after a slow start.
The Value: Kiefer Sherwood
Randomly has nine goals in 14 games.
STACKS
The Full: TOR (Matthews-Nylander-Tavares)
It’s maybe obvious, but I don’t hate the Leaf chalk like I normally do, especially because (as usual) the scoring from the team comes from its studs and almost no one else.
The Mini: UTA (Cooley-Schmaltz)
The Leafs can’t play defense that well and these two have been red hot.
