Studs and Stacks – February 28
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: Dylan Larkin
The Wings’ captain has shown no fatigue from the Olympics, scoring both of the team’s goals in their first game out of the break (including the OT game-winner), and he’s seemingly daring GM Steve Yzerman to go all-in this season after calling him out last year (and he’s got a point).
The Wing: Cole Caufield
We continue to see why Caufield’s snub from the Olympic team continues to be puzzling as he’s tied for fourth in the league in goals after scoring last game, and the Canadiens are getting the Caps on the second half of a back-to-back.

The Defenseman: Roman Josi
The play of Josi has been one of the main reasons why Nashville is challenging for a playoff spot: he’s playing like we’re used to seeing him as he’s notched two goals and added seven helpers in his last five games. He’ll be needed in both ends against a tough Dallas team.
The Value: Mavrik Bourque
He’s skating on L1 in a solid spot.
STACKS
The Full: CAR (Aho-Jarvis-Svechnikov-Ehlers)
This could be a game stack, but I’m leaning the home team here, especially as we know the Wings’ deficit is on the defensive end, and the Canes’ offense is typically overlooked a smidge, which makes them perfect for tournaments tonight.
The Mini: DAL (Johnson-Robertson)
These two are driving the Stars’ scoring (especially with Rantanen out), and the matchup is a solid one, so I don’t mind a mini stack with some high ceiling.
