Studs and Stacks – March 9
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 drives the Senators’ offense; he’s got a 12-game point streak, the longest in the league, notching eight goals and eight assists during that span. Great spot tonight as well; he’ll be popular and for good reason.
The Wing: Clayton Keller
Keller is edging toward star status if he’s not there already; he’s averaging a point per game and has two goals and six helpers in his last five…oh, and he’s a gold medalist. Utah has an ideal matchup tonight.

The Defenseman: Jacob Chychrun
With John Carlson gone, the leadership on the Caps’ blue line squarely rests on Chychrun’s shoulders (as if it hadn’t already the way he’s been playing this season). He shoots a ton, so the floor is great, and the matchup against Calgary lends itself to a nice ceiling as well.
The Value: Ryan Leonard
Skating on PP1 (but on L3, so he’s got a low floor).
STACKS
The Full: UTA (Keller-Guenther-Schmaltz)
My favorite stack on the slate facing a bad Blackhawks defense. Mix in Cooley and Peterka as secondary pieces.
The Mini: OTT (Stutzle-Giroux)
These two are together both on the top line as well as on PK1, and Ottawa may have the best matchup on the slate tonight.
