Studs and Stacks – March 1
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: Mathew Barzal
Little different here, but there aren’t a ton of studs at center on this small slate, and Barzal has been solid lately (a five-game point streak with four goals and four assists).
The Wing: Matt Boldy
Boldy arguably has the best contract in the league when compared to his production (he’s tied for second in the league in goals and is on pace for close to 50). Six goals and six helpers in his last five.

The Defenseman: Matthew Schaefer
The kid is going to be in the Norris conversation every season for years to come. Five more goals and he ties the all-time rookie record for goals, and he could get one in this matchup. Good pivot off of Quinn Hughes as well.
The Value: Michael Misa
The rookie is getting more ice time gradually; he’s got a goal and three helpers in his last five games and is centering L2 and PP2.
STACKS
The Full: MIN (Kaprizov-Boldy-Hughes)
Combined 11 goals and 18 assists for this trio in Minnesota’s last five games (and throw in Eriksson Ek as a fourth if you like); the Wild offense has been ridiculous since Hughes came over, and this matchup should be more of the same.
The Mini: ANA (Kreider-Sennecke)
These two each have five points over their last five games and had some big-time heroics in a comeback win over Winnipeg last game, and the Flames’ defense isn’t anything scary. Decent mini stack here on this small slate
