Studs and Stacks – January 26

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: Mika Zibanejad
Going a little less chalky with Mika, who’s been great over the past couple of weeks; this should be a competitive game as well.

The Wing: Nikita Kucherov
Three goals and eight assists in his last five games; Bolts are at home in a great spot.  Solid play all around.

The Defenseman: Evan Bouchard
Hattie last game and has a cakewalk matchup tonight.  Don’t mind riding the hot hand here.

The Value: Anthony Duclair
Four goals in his last five games.

STACKS
The Full: EDM (McDavid-Draisaitl-Hyman-Bouchard)
Fade them at your peril as these four are basically the scoring for the Oilers; Edmonton is the largest favorite on the slate as well.

The Mini: BOS (Pastrnak-Geekie)
Rangers are suspect defensively; Boston is at home and these two have 49 goals between them.
