Studs and Stacks – March 23
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: Mika Zibanejad
Zibanejad always has a fairly solid floor, and he’s been playing well of late (three goals and two helpers in his last five).
The Wing: Brady Tkachuk
The Senators are always fairly random with their minute distribution, but Tkachuk does have the highest ceiling (especially when it comes to goal-scoring), and he does have 18 shots in his last five as well. You want some upside in a single-gamer.

The Defenseman: Adam Fox
Fox is seeing over 27 minutes a night over his last 5-10 games and he’s got five helpers in his last five. Attendance is part of the grade.
The Value: Michael Amadio
Two goals and two assists in his last five; solid cheap pivot.
STACKS
The Full: NYR (Zibanejad-Trocheck-Lafreniere-Perrault)
I like the Ranger side more in this one overall, and this mix gives you solid exposure in all three situations while still giving nice upside.
The Mini: OTT (Pinto-Amadio)
These two are cheap and correlate together on L3 (and you can add Cousins for the full trio); Pinto gives you some PP exposure and Amadio skates with Stutlze on the penalty kill.
