Studs and Stacks – February 25
What an Olympics! We’re back and jumping right into the thick of the playoff race. 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: Mark Scheifele
Great spot for Scheifele and the Jets tonight even if a couple of their studs are having gold-medal hangovers: the Canucks are awful. Top 10 in scoring this season thus far as well.
The Wing: Nikita Kucherov
Love the thought of Kucherov, the league’s third-leading scorer, getting back into action after a couple of weeks off and facing a Leafs team whose two top stars are just now getting back from Milan…and the Bolts are the biggest favorites on the slate tonight.

The Defenseman: Evan Bouchard
Prime spot for an offense-only defenseman facing a bad Ducks team. Bouchard is the leading scorer among defensemen and the Oilers should have ample offensive opportunities tonight.
The Value: Reilly Smith
With at least a couple of studs out for sure (and more possible), Smith, who has been skating on L2 lately, should get some more run even with Vegas getting an average matchup.
STACKS
The Full: DAL (Robertson-Johnston-Benn-Duchene)
With Rantanen out for the next couple of weeks, the scoring from the Stars gets a bit more condensed, and the matchup against the Kraken is one of the better ones tonight; plus, there’s not a ton of their studs who are tired from the Olympics, which I like.
The Mini: LA (Panarin-Kempe)
The Kings unveil their new stud tonight against a Vegas team who will likely be without multiple stud pieces tonight, and this pairing should see some solid chances tonight.
