Studs and Stacks – April 4
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: Macklin Celebrini
The sixth teenager ever to score 100 points in a season, there’s got to be some Hart talk surrounding Celebrini at this point…who else is there on San Jose? Good spot for them tonight as well.
The Wing: Cole Caufield
Two goals last game and is now one away from 50…and he’s got a shot at the Rocket Richard as well. Dude is a superstar…no doubt about it.

The Defenseman: Zach Werenski
It’s now or never for the Blue Jackets, and Werenski is going to step up in this one, I have a feeling. Columbus is at home, which should help as well.
The Value: Matt Savoie
Four goals in his last five games; still too cheap given he’s linemates with McDavid.
STACKS
The Full: CAR (Aho-Jarvis-Svechnikov-Ehlers)
Carolina is the largest favorite on the slate tonight and they’re looking to hold onto the top spot in the East. These four are some of my favorite tournament plays on most slates as they tend to go overlooked.
The Mini: EDM (McDavid-Savoie)
The Oilers are playing well and Vegas is sort of middling at this point; these two have developed really nice chemistry and Savoie’s price tag helps make this little stack affordable.
