Studs and Stacks: NHL Building Blocks for DFS – April 15

Studs and Stacks – April 15

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: Jack Eichel
Vegas is still playing for positioning and could win the Pacific, and Eichel is cooking at just the right time (two goals on 16 shots with seven assists in his last five games).

The Wing: Nikita Kucherov
Similar to Eichel, Kuch and the Bolts can get home ice in their first-round matchup with Montreal with a win, and he can also solidify his claim to both the scoring title and the Hart.

The Defenseman: Darren Raddysh
Putting the finishing touches on a career season (and just at the right time as he gets ready to enter free agency).

The Value: Mavrik Bourque
Had a hat trick last game and should see the same (if not more) ice time in the Stars’ last regular season game.

STACKS
The Full: TB (Kucherov-Guentzel-Point-Raddysh)
Highest upside on the slate as they’re playing for something.

The Mini: VGK (Eichel-Barbashev)
Love this mini stack if you’re not going full-in with them.
