Studs and Stacks – January 29
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: Macklin Celebrini
The easy choice would be the superstar center on the other side of the ice, but let’s go with the kid here (especially in a great offensive game environment where McDavid is the one who’s higher-owned).
The Wing: Cole Caufield
The Olympic snub did something to him: he’s got nine goals and two assists during a six-game point streak and is tied for third in the league in goals.

The Defenseman: Doug Hamilton
Maybe the trade rumors woke him up? Nine-game point streak (a goal and 11 helpers) with the Devils having a decent matchup as well; he’s seeing more time on the ice as well with Luke Hughes being out.
The Value: Mattias Samuelsson
Seven helpers in his last four games.
STACKS
The Full: MIN (Kaprizov-Boldy-Hughes-Eriksson Ek)
Good spot for the Wild top power play unit (and you get equal exposure to their top two lines as well as their PK1). Kap is hot as well.
The Mini: BOS (Pastrnak-Geekie)
Two elite goal-scorers at home against a Flyers team on the second half of a back-to-back.
