Studs and Stacks – February 4

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: Nathan Mackinnon
Avs should be cranky after getting shut out for the first time all season last game, and Mackinnon should be able to do whatever he wants against the Sharks’ defense.

The Wing: Kirill Kaprizov
Five goals and two assists in his last five games and has moved up to third in the league in goals (also seventh in points).

The Defenseman: Quinn Hughes
Sixteen points (two goals and 14 helpers) during a nine-game point streak and looks perfect in Minnesota.

The Value: Marat Khusnutdinov
Fitting in really nicely on Boston’s top line.

STACKS
The Full: DAL (Robertson-Rantanen-Johnston-Hintz)
The Blues have given up the second most goals in the league and these four drive the Stars’ scoring.

The Mini: MON (Caufield-Suzuki)
I don’t care about the matchup…these two have such great chemistry together and can go off at any point.
