Studs and Stacks – April 11
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.
Special note: even though not on the main slate, the matchup this afternoon between Pittsburgh and Washington could be the last time we see Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin face each other. If you have time, tune in to watch.
STUDS
The Center: Macklin Celebrini
Maybe the field likes Nathan MacKinnon better tonight in tournaments as the pay-up option, but not me: I want the kid against the horrid Canucks. Viable in all formats.
The Wing: Cole Caufield
The diminutive winger notched his 50th last game, and he’s just two behind MacKinnon for the league lead; Saturday Night Caufield is a thing and he’s at home playing a desperate Columbus team.

The Defenseman: Zach Werenski
Every one of their remaining three games is a must-win for the Blue Jackets; Montreal is a strong opponent, but it’s Z’s time to keep Columbus in the race.
The Value: Easton Cowan
He’s got two goals and three assists in his last five and has been seeing more time in general, not just with the big boys.
STACKS
The Full: SJ (Celebrini-Smith-Wennberg-Toffoli)
Don’t mind eating the chalk here with the Sharks going up against Vancouver; the pieces around Celebrini are all cheap enough to make this affordable (and you could even fade him within that stack to get different).
The Mini: TOR (Tavares-Nylander)
A Leafs team that’s done still has some nice ceiling pieces, and these two are it; Florida is done as well. Different way to stack on this five-gamer.
