Studs and Stacks: Building Blocks for DFS – March 25

Studs and Stacks – March 25

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: Tage Thompson
Love this spot for Tage given how well he and the Sabres have been playing lately.  On pace for 40+ goals and over a point per game yet again.

The Wing: David Pastrnak
Even on a back-t0-back, Pasta’s floor and ceiling are so good, and he gets a solid matchup in a spot that could have more than its share of offense.

The Defenseman: Adam Fox
More may gravitate toward Rasmus Dahlin (who is also really solid), but I’ll pivot here given the matchup against a bad Leafs team.

The Value: Easton Cowan
Interesting spot for the Leafs’ rookie as he’s slotted up on L1 with Nylander and Tavares, and he’s shown flashes of his offensive ability.

STACKS
The Full: NYR (Zibanejad-Lafreniere-Trocheck-Perrault)
Nice mix of even strength and power play lines here in this matchup with Toronto’s defense just being awful, and given a two-gamer tonight, you have to find a way to get different; the other three teams have higher-profile stacks, but the upside here is really nice.

The Mini: BOS (Pastrnak-McAvoy)
I love this two-man tonight in this matchup…their upside is solid and it’s a great game environment.
