Studs and Stacks for January 25, 2026: DraftKings & FanDuel Picks

Studs and Stacks – January 25

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 Center: Sidney Crosby
On pace for 93 points…at age 38.  Gets a great matchup against a bad Canucks defense.

The Wing: Mark Stone
Longest point streak in the league at the moment (14 games, during which he’s got 12 goals and 11 assists).

The Defenseman: Jake Sanderson
Continues to be solid offensively (goal and five assists in his last five), and he’ll be asked to do things in both ends in a tough matchup.

The Value: Yegor Sharangovich
Three goals (16 shots) and a helper in his last five.

STACKS
The Full: PIT (Crosby-Malkin-Rust-Rakell)
The Pens might have the best matchup tonight against Vancouver, and they could go a bit underowned with Vegas on the slate.

The Mini: VGK (Eichel-Stone)
Mini stack in a good spot; you can absolutely go different in the same game with Hertl/Marner.
