Studs and Stacks – January 13
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
Even though the Oilers played last night, he’s got the highest upside on the slate and the Predators aren’t good.
The Pivot: David Pastrnak
Pasta continues to be elite with two goals (19 shots) and nine assists in his last five; Detroit is on the second half of a back-to-back, so the floor and ceiling should both be good.

The Low-Owned: Alex Ovechkin
Goals in four straight games (and five overall) and continues to be dangerous.
The Value: Fraser Minten
Four goals in his last five games.
STACKS
The Full: DAL (Rantanen-Robertson-Johnston-Hintz)
Stars get a Ducks team that’s allowed more goals than any team in the league; these four are together on the league’s second-best power play.
The Mini: WSH (Ovechkin-Wilson)
Five goals each in their last five games and they are at home facing a Canadiens team who played in Montreal last night.
