Studs and Stacks – March 12
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: Wyatt Johnston
Stud-in-the-making and in a great matchup at home; 34 goals on the season and averaging over a point per game, and the Stars face the sieve of a defense that is the Oilers.
The Wing: Nikita Kucherov
Kuch is doing his usual Kuch thing, and the Bolts have a plus-matchup tonight against a Wings team that’s struggling a bit while Tampa Bay is trying to keep pace with red-hot Buffalo.

The Defenseman: Rasmus Dahlin
The Sabres are rolling (maybe more than any team in the league) and Dahlin is a big reason why; he’s got a goal and eight assists in his last five games, and even in a tough matchup, I don’t mind rolling with him given the floor and the roll Buffalo is on.
The Value: Gabe Perrault
Getting all the L1/PP1 time he can get, and he’s rewarding the team as he’s got three goals and four assists over his last five games.
STACKS
The Full: MIN (Kaprizov-Boldy-Hughes-Eriksson Ek)
The Wild are the second biggest favorites on the slate tonight and Philly is on the second half of a back-to-back. Kap and Boldy have 73 goals between them and Hughes is on a 100-plus point pace since joining Minnesota.
The Mini: BUF (Thompson-Dahlin)
How do you not keep rolling with this team? Little mini-stack here catches the highest upside from them; the Capitals also played last night and Buffalo has won eight in a row, scoring five or more goals in five of those eight (with 14 alone in their last two).
