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: Macklin Celebrini
The wunderkind gets one of the best (if not THE best) matchup tonight against Vancouver. Fourth in the league in scoring and firmly in the Hart discussion.
The Wing: Kirill Kaprizov
Kap just keeps going: he’s got three goals (24 shots!) and nine assists in his last five games, and the Wild are in a great spot against the lowly Blackhawks.

The Defenseman: Quinn Hughes
Hard to imagine him fitting in any better than he has in the State of Hockey.
The Value: Cody Glass
Three goals and three assists in his last five games.
STACKS
The Full: MIN (Kaprizov-Boldy-Zuccarello-Hughes)
It’s a mix-and-match between the top two lines here; the spot is great even though the Blackhawks’ penalty kill is best in the league, but the Wild offense is so good.
The Mini: VGK (Eichel-Stone)
These two drive the Vegas offense and Montreal’s defense is average.
