STUDS

The Defenseman: Quinn Hughes
Goal and six helpers in his last five and has 20 points (including 18 assists) in 18 games with Minnesota.
The Value: Marcus Foligno
Five goals in his last five games (including his first career hat trick last night).
STACKS
The Full: MTL (Caufield-Suzuki-Slafkovsky-Hutson)
Not as high-profile as some of the other stacks, but they’re in a good spot: the Wild played last night and are banged up defensively.
The Mini: OTT (Tkachuk-Stutzle)
Solid pairing that will go overlooked a bit, but they’ve got a great matchup against a wide-open Columbus defense.
