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: Sebastian Aho
Hurricanes have one of the best matchups on the slate; Aho plays all three positions and has two goals and three helpers in his last five games, and he’ll be popular.
The Wing: Nikita Kucherov
Third in the league in scoring and has a nine-game point streak (six goals and 17 assists during), and it’s the Battle of Florida, which always brings out the best in him.

The Defenseman: Matthew Schaefer
18 goals on the season and has shown no sign of slowing down; Devils are limping toward the break (and should be without Jack Hughes as well).
The Value: Artemi Panarin
Total cheat in this category, but you have to think if he plays he’s going to be amped and excited to be part of his new team.
STACKS
The Full: CAR (Aho-Jarvis-Svechnikov-Ehlers)
The Rangers just traded their best player and Carolina is fighting for the top spot in the East. Even on the road, this quartet is definitely in play.
The Mini: TB (Kucherov-Guentzel)
Seven goals and 17 assists between them in the Bolts’ last five games.
