Studs and Stacks – March 28
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: Nathan Mackinnon
The highest upside on the slate (and that’s the case most times), Mac is in a race for both the Hart and Ross trophies, to say nothing of the Avs holding onto home ice throughout the playoffs. Solid matchup again in the second half of a home-and-home with Winnipeg.
The Wing: Filip Forsberg
This is a great game environment (and stacks are definitely in play) as the Predators are hot at just the right time and are currently holding onto the last playoff spot in the West. Forsberg’s play has been a big reason why (four goals and six assists in his last five games and has an outside shot at a 40-goal campaign).

The Defenseman: Moritz Seider
The floor and ceiling here are great for Seider, especially with the salary savings over someone like Cale Makar. Wings are desperate and he’s a boss.
The Value: Matt Coronato
Points in four straight games; Calgary is the second-biggest favorite on the slate.
STACKS
The Full: MTL (Caufield-Suzuki-Slafkovsky)
As mentioned above, this is a lovely game to have multiple pieces of, and these three just scream offense (they’ve combined for 10 goals and 16 assists in Montreal’s last five games). Lane Hutson is the fourth if you’re doing a full four-stack.
The Mini: NSH (Forsberg-Stamkos)
See above; fewer will be on Nashville, though, which gives some nice ceiling leverage. Nine goals and 11 helpers in their last five games between these two snipers.
