Studs and Stacks: Building Blocks for DFS – March 27

Studs and Stacks – March 27

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
The Rangers’ offense has been doing decently lately; Mika is a big reason why, and they have the best matchup on the slate.  At a slight discount from some of the other bigger names, I’m happy going with him in this one.

The Wing: Alex Debrincat
Cat has been the Wings’ best player over the last month; he’s got two goals and seven assists in his last five games and is on pace for a 40-goal season.  He’s also got a great floor as he shoots a ton, and on a small slate we want both floor and upside potential.

The Defenseman: Moritz Seider
Dahlin and Fox might be more obvious, but Seider is the most complete of the three and he’ll be called on tonight for just that reason.

The Value: Zack Benson
Three goals and three helpers in his last five; inexpensive for how well he’s been doing.

STACKS
The Full: DET (Debrincat-Kane-Larkin-Raymond)
Detroit is desperate and these four (along with Moritz Seider) are the ones carrying the hopes of the team not suffering yet another March collapse.  Solid spot for some upside on this two-gamer (and you could game stack this one fairly nicely if you want to).

The Mini: BUF (Thompson-Dahlin)
I’m not sure if any duo on the slate has the floor-ceiling combination like these two.
