Studs and Stacks – March 29
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: Jack Hughes
The Devils get maybe the best matchup on the slate today as they host the Blackhawks; Hughes is playing like Hughes is supposed to play (eight goals and 20 points in March, including an eight-game point streak snapped yesterday).
The Wing: David Pastrnak
Pasta is driving the Bruins as usual, and they’re looking great as they’re closing in on a playoff berth. He’s got seven goals and 13 assists during a 12-game point streak and is on pace for another 100-point season. Love the floor and ceiling for him today.

The Defenseman: Lane Hutson
Averaging barely under a point per game in his sophomore season and has clearly cemented himself as an elite defenseman. Always involved and always has a great ceiling.
The Value: Gage Goncalves
Up on L1 with Point/Guentzel and is seeing some extra shifts with Kucherov out.
STACKS
The Full: DAL (Rantanen-Robertson-Johnston)
Moose is back and the Stars exploded for seven goals yesterday in his return; the Philly defense doesn’t threaten, either. Mix in Heiskanen, Benn, and Duchene as solid secondary pieces. Dallas is still aiming for the top spot in the West.
The Mini: MON (Caufield-Suzuki)
Readers of this article know that this duo is one of my favorite mini stacks in all of hockey not just for their production but also that they always seem to be a bit underpriced for their ceiling, and this is a matchup that could generate that upside.
