Studs and Stacks: NHL Building Blocks for DFS – March 31

Studs and Stacks – March 31

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: Connor McDavid
Always in play, McDavid has the Oilers on a little three-game winning streak and within striking distance (three points) of the Ducks for the Pacific crown.  Seattle doesn’t intimidate defensively, either.

The Wing: Alex Debrincat
Cat is peaking at just the right time: he’s got a nine-game point streak (four goals and 11 assists) while on pace for over 40 goals and over a point per game.  Wings are desperate and are getting an old Penguins team on the second half of a back-t0-back.

The Defenseman: Moritz Seider
Not sure why Seider continues to go overlooked as a superstar, but that won’t be for long.  He’s got six assists, 20 shots, and 10 blocks in his last five games, and those stats are indicative of the floor/ceiling combo he brings every night.  It’s playoff intensity for the Wings from here on out.

The Value: Calum Ritchie
Two goals and three assists in his last four games; seeing some PP1 time as well.

STACKS
The Full: DAL (Rantanen-Robertson-Johnston)
Very few teams have the upside of this top trio, and Dallas is still chasing the Avs for the top spot in the West (though they likely won’t catch them).  Boston’s solid, but the Stars’ stars have an incredible ceiling.

The Mini:BUF (Thompson-Dahlin)
The Sabres’ offense goes through these two; their floor is high and their upside is nice as well, especially in this one.
