Studs and Stacks – March 26
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: Nick Suzuki
On pace for close to 100 points and tied for eighth in the league in scoring, Suzuki has finally reached stardom. The spot tonight is great as both teams’ offenses are very good and it’s a wide-open Columbus defense that Montreal is seeing.
The Wing: Nikita Kucherov
Kuch just keeps getting better and better as the season winds down: he’s now leading the league in scoring and has six goals and eight assists in his last five games. Tampa Bay is the largest favorite on the slate tonight as well. Don’t be afraid to eat this chalk.

The Defenseman: Zach Werenski
Similar to Kucherov, Z is good chalk tonight: he’s got a goal and eight helpers in the Blue Jackets’ last five and he’s now the odds-on favorite for the Norris…plus Columbus is on such a roll over the last couple of months. It’s a good game environment tonight as well.
The Value: Connor Brown
Three goals and four assists in his last five; seeing more ice time lately.
STACKS
The Full: COL (Mackinnon-Necas-Landeskog-Makar)
The Avs need every point they can get to stay ahead of the hard-charging Stars, and this offense is starting to get rolling again after a few weeks of mediocre play. They’re expensive, so maybe it’s only three, but they’re worth it tonight (and may help get off of the likely chalkier Bolts offense).
The Mini: LAK (Kempe-Panarin)
I like the chemistry these two are starting to develop, and it’s a solid way to get exposure to one of the best spots on the slate as the Kings go into Vancouver.
