Studs and Stacks – March 7
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: Tim Stutzle
Stutzle is playing extremely well with an 11-game point streak going (seven goals and eight assists during), and he’s the engine that drives the Senators’ offense. They’ve got one of the better matchups tonight even on the road in Seattle, and he could go overlooked a bit.
The Wing: Nikita Kucherov
Hard not to salivate over this matchup with the Bolts gearing up for another Cup run and the Leafs in a free fall. Third in the league in scoring and viable in any situation.

The Defenseman: Matthew Schaefer
Love this kid. Four goals away from breaking the rookie defenseman goal record (and he’s got 20 games left).
The Value: Taylor Hall
Two goals and five assists in his last five games; L2 for the Canes can pop off and it’s a great environment for goals.
STACKS
The Full: WPG (Scheifele-Connor-Vilardi)
The Jets will be extremely chalky, but I don’t mind leaning into it tonight as they sometimes don’t get the attention their ceiling deserves, and this is definitely an upside spot against the Canucks.
The Mini: UTA (Keller-Guenther)
The Mammoth are going all-in this season and they get a lovely matchup against a wide-open Blue Jackets team; this game could be stacked, but I’m leaning toward this side of the matchup.
