Studs and Stacks – March 18
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: Jack Hughes
Hughes is playing like Hughes is supposed to play (five goals and five assists in the Devils’ last five games), and a matchup against the cross-river Rangers seems to always get the Devils going.
The Wing: Jason Robertson
Love the floor and ceiling Robo always brings, and this is a super important matchup for both teams, but especially for Dallas as they look to make up ground on the Avs. Two goals and four assists in his last five; seventh in the league in goals and on pace for just under 100 points on the season.

The Defenseman: Erik Karlsson
The Hurricanes are on the second half of a back-t0-back and Karlsson is playing well (just like a good number of the Pens) with a goal and eight helpers in his last five games.
The Value: Anthony Mantha
He’s still too cheap for how he’s playing (five goals and two assists in his last five games).
STACKS
The Full: DAL (Robertson-Johnston-Duchene-Benn)
This will be the best game to watch, and as a stack I know it’s a little risky given the Avs’ defense, but Dallas is just so hot and right on Colorado’ heels, so I don’t mind some shots here, especially in tournaments. Heiskanen is a solid addition to mix in as well.
The Mini: NYR (Perrault-Kartye-Lafreniere)
These three young kids are just playing so well (as are a lot of the Rangers, to be honest) as they’ve got nine goals and 11 assists between them over their last five games, and mixing in two or even all three capture some of the ceiling and the hot streak they’re on…plus they’re fairly cheap, which helps fit in some of the bigger-name stacks.
