Studs and Stacks: Building Blocks for DFS – March 3

Studs and Stacks – March 3

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: Macklin Celebrini
The kid is just awesome…end of story.  Great game environment for the league’s fifth-leading scorer as well, and the Sharks need to pick it up big time.

The Wing: Cole Caufield
I’m sticking with this game as it screams offense, and Caufield will likely be at the center of it.  Fourth in the league in goals and is on pace for nearly 50, and the Sharks can’t really stop anyone.

The Defenseman: Rasmus Dahlin
He’s a lovely pivot from the chalkier Werenski (who is always valid), and the Sabres are shooting up the standings and catching a Vegas team at just the right time.  Great floor and solid ceiling for Dahlin.

The Value: Matt Savoie
A goal and five assists in his last three games; Edmonton is in a good spot and really has every game as a must-win.

STACKS
The Full: MTL (Caufield-Suzuki-Hutson-Slafkovsky)
You could game stack this spot, but I particularly like the Canadiens even on the road out west.  Great ceiling potential in this one and I’ll be overweight.

The Mini: MIN (Kaprizov-Boldy)
Maybe the most dynamic duo this season as they’ve got 34 and 35 goals respectively, and they have huge tournament upside in this one if they can go off on the Bolts.
