Studs and Stacks – March 5
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
Thompson is one of the league’s most underrated superstars, and he really got a chance to shine during the Olympics. Now he tries to lead the Sabres to a playoff berth, and he’s in a solid spot tonight. He’s got four goals and two assists in his last five games as well.
The Wing: Nikita Kucherov
Kuch is once again in the conversation for the Hart, ranking third in the league in scoring. Tampa Bay is in a fight for the top spot in the East, and they’re facing a Jets team that’s all but out of the playoff race.

The Defenseman: Zach Werenski
The Blue Jackets continue to rely on Werenski for pretty much everything, and he’s having a Norris-caliber season for sure, leading the team in scoring and notching a nine-game point streak (two goals and 11 assists). Columbus is in a must-win situation every game from here on out, especially against a Panthers team on the outside looking in (just like they are).
The Value: Ben Kindel
Kindel has found some nice success this season, skating on PP1 for a good portion. He’s got three goals and a helper over his last five games, and this should be a solid game environment.
STACKS
The Full: TB (Kucherov-Guentzel-Point-Hagel)
The Bolts have possibly the highest upside on the slate tonight, so I want some shares in this spot.
The Mini: UTAH (Keller-Schmaltz)
Utah quietly has some lovely offensive weapons, and I like these two as a mini-stack tonight (they’ve each got eight points over their last five games).
