Studs and Stacks: Building Blocks for DFS – March 11

Studs and Stacks – March 11

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 Cozens
Stutzle is the obvious center choice from Ottawa, but Cozens has five goals and an assist during a four-game point streak and he is paired with Tkachuk on L2 as well as being up on PP1 with the big boys.  Decent leverage option on this two-gamer.

The Wing: Cole Caufield
Floor and ceiling for Caufield are both lovely (second in the league in goals while averaging over three shots per game), and Ottawa’s defense doesn’t scare.

The Defenseman: Lane Hutson
More will gravitate toward Chychrun, I think, but I’ll lean toward Hutson tonight as I think his ceiling is higher.

The Value: Jake Evans
Trying to find some cheap pieces on this small slate, and Evans has a four-game point streak (two goals and three assists during).

STACKS
The Full: OTT (Stutzle-Tkachuk-Batherson-Cozens)
The Canadiens are on the second half of a back-t0-back and Ottawa is the largest favorite in these two games.  Don’t mind eating some of this chalk (and you can game stack this as well).

The Mini: MON (Caufield-Suzuki)
This pair is one of my favorite mini stacks on any slate, and their ceiling is maybe the highest tonight.
