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: Quinn Hughes
Minnesota’s shiny new toy makes his debut, and it should be really interesting to see how he meshes with Kaprizov.
The Pivot: Connor McDavid
Great spot for McDavid facing the Habs’ defense. Seven goals and eight assists in his last five games.

The Low-Owned: David Pastrnak
Will be lower-owned with some other studs on the slate, but he’s just so good and he gets a great matchup.
The Value: Tommy Novak
Two goals and three assists in his last five games.
STACKS
The Full: MIN (Kaprizov-Boldy-Eriksson Ek-Hughes)
The Wild should be energized with the addition of Hughes, and they should be moving.
The Mini: MON (Caufield-Suzuki)
Nice spot for these two against a suspect Oiler defense.
