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: Macklin Celebrini
The best game environment on the slate tonight, but I’m leaning toward the kid to get a little bit off of the McDavid chalk, and we know that Edmonton can’t stop anything.
The Wing: Kirill Kaprizov
Kap is second in the league in goals, and it’s time for him to step up and help Minnesota right the ship against an awful Chicago team. I think he has a great game tonight.

The Defenseman: Rasmus Dahlin
The field may lean more toward the Hughes/Werenski/Bouchard range, but I’ll take my shot with Dahlin and the hot Sabres. Even as an underdog, his floor will be there and the ceiling is high.
The Value: Matt Savoie
Developing great chemistry with McDavid and in a great game environment tonight.
STACKS
The Full: MTL (Caufield-Suzuki-Hutson-Slafkovsky)
The Canadiens’ offense is playing well and these four are at the center of it. Boston is also on the second half of a back-to-back.
The Mini: CAR (Aho-Jarvis)
These two play together in all three situations, and the Canes are facing a Blue Jackets team that plays wide open AND that is desperate to keep in the playoff race, which could lead to some ill-advised situations.
