Studs and Stacks – March 13
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: Connor McDavid
Blanket statement: the Oilers will be overwhelming chalk, so how you get different is the key to this slate. You’re either way over or way under. McDavid has an eight-game point streak (two goals and 13 assists) and is always in play regardless.
The Wing: Dylan Holloway
Two goals and four assists in his last five games, and this game environment sets up nicely for either team, to be honest. (Snuggerud makes some sense as well with two or more points in three straight.)

The Defenseman: Matthew Schaefer
Bouchard will be chalky (see above), but I don’t mind going heavier on Schaefer in a decent matchup if for no other reason than to get some leverage (even if it’s just a little).
The Value: Tony DeAngelo
Cheap for his recent production (goal and four assists in his last five).
STACKS
The Full: NYI (Horvat-Barzal-Schaefer-Lee)
Nine goals between them over their last five games, and they’re in a good enough of a spot to help you get off of the big Edmonton chalk.
The Mini: STL (Thomas-Snuggerud)
Same as above – can you get different on this two-gamer? The Blues are playing well surprisingly and the Oilers can’t stop anything; these two have seven goals and 10 helpers between them in their last five games. You can sub in Holloway for one of them as well or make a three-man.
