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
The obvious choice here…but maybe more difficult is to go overweight or underweight on him on this small slate.
The Pivot: Lucas Raymond
Is he the Wings’ best player? He’s their scoring leader and is on pace for nearly 90 points.

The Low-Owned: Brady Tkachuk
The floor is there against a bad Blues defense, and he’s got solid upside as well.
The Value: Andrew Copp
Really stepping up lately (two goals and three assists in his last five) to provide the Wings with secondary scoring.
STACKS
The Full: DET (Larkin-Raymond-DeBrincat-van Riemsdyk)
This quarter is humming right now and the Oilers are on the second half of a back-to-back (and aren’t the best defensively to begin with).
The Mini: OTT (Tkachuk-Stutzle)
St. Louis has allowed the fourth-most goals in the league and these two are Ottawa’s best players.
