Studs and Stacks – April 12
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: Logan Cooley
Five goals and five assists in his last five games, and he continues to be too cheap for his production. Great spot tonight as well.
The Wing: Cole Caufield
The 50-goal scorer should be able to keep it going tonight; they want the win big time for playoff positioning.

The Defenseman: Mikhail Sergachev
Utah’s do-it-all defenseman has eight helpers in his last five games and is a solid pivot from higher-profile blueliners like Lane Hutson and Matthew Schaefer.
The Value: Connor Brown
He’s paired with Jack Hughes on L2 and is seeing a ton of PP1 time as well; good matchup against a tired Ottawa team.
STACKS
The Full: UTA (Guenther-Keller-Schmaltz-Cooley-Sergachev)
Welcome to the playoffs, Utah! Between them, this quintet has managed 15 goals and 21 assists over the Mammoth’s last five games, and they’re going to keep it going against a bad Calgary team.
The Mini: MON (Caufield-Suzuki)
Always one of my favorite mini stacks on any slate. Isles are the second half of a back-t0-back and Montreal is still in the running for the Atlantic title, which would have them avoid Buffalo and Tampa Bay in the first round.
