Studs and Stacks: Building Blocks for DFS – March 19

Studs and Stacks – March 19

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
I’m liking the spot for McDavid tonight: they’re playing well and have some momentum, and I know they’d like nothing more than to not only beat the Panthers but go ahead and somewhat put the final nail in the coffin for their playoff hopes.  

The Wing: Cole Caufield
The Canadiens’ first 40-goal scorer in three decades and in a good matchup tonight; I’ll happily start many of my lines with him and his linemates in this one.

The Defenseman: Rasmus Dahlin
Great spot for Dahlin and the Sabres tonight against a Sharks team that’s fine offensively but a sieve defensively, and he’s got as good a ceiling as some of the other higher-priced defensemen on the slate.

The Value: Marco Rossi
Three goals and four assists in his last three games.

STACKS
The Full: MIN (Kaprizov-Boldy-Hughes-Zuccarello)
Second half of a home-and-home in which the Wild won in overtime; Minnesota is at home in this one and this stack has a super high ceiling, and while they’ll be chalky, I don’t care…I’ll eat it.

The Mini: TB (Kucherov-Guentzel)
A full stack of the Bolts makes sense, but they’ll be super expensive against a horrid Vancouver team, so you can get different with a small stack of these two.
