Studs and Stacks – February 27
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: Jack Eichel
The gold medal-winner should slot back into the lineup tonight; he’s got two goals and five assists in his last five regular season games and should have a decent chance at adding to that tonight.
The Wing: Tage Thompson
Yet another American medalist makes the article today. Tage has got some momentum going and the Sabres are getting Florida on the second half of a back-to-back.

The Defenseman: Quinn Hughes
What more needs to be said about him? Norris contender as usual and has the highest upside of any blue liner on the slate. Viable in all formats.
The Value: Reilly Smith
Up on L2 and could get some additional opportunities if a couple of their studs aren’t back (or even if they are, they may still be fatigued).
STACKS
The Full: WPG (Scheifele-Connor-Vilardi-Perfetti)
Looked solid the other night and have one of the best matchups on this small slate.
The Mini: MIN (Kaprizov-Boldy)
One of the best duos in the league and in a decent matchup. Easy way to get some really high ceiling on this small slate.
