Studs and Stacks – April 6
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
If I’m paying up tonight for one of the uber-studs, I would lean Celebrini here just because of the matchup (though you can’t go wrong with either of him or Kuch). There should be Hart consideration IMO…and Chicago is just awful.
The Wing: Nikita Kucherov
Likely scoring champion and also possibly the Hart. Big-name player steps up in big moments and they’re trying hold off Buffalo for the division (and grab the top spot in the East as well).

The Defenseman: Roman Josi
Could go overlooked after Raddysh and Dahlin. His floor and ceiling are absolutely lovely and the Predators are in a playoff spot in large part to his play over the last month-plus.
The Value: Peyton Krebs
Too cheap for playing on L1 with Thompson.
STACKS
The Full: TB (Kucherov-Guentzel-Point-Hagel)
The Bolts and Sabres are tied for tops in the Atlantic, but Tampa Bay has a game in hand, so this is a big one…and this quartet has close to if not the highest ceiling of any foursome in hockey.
The Mini: NSH (Forsberg-Josi)
The Preds and Kings play each other tonight and are tied for the last spot in the West; I love this mini stack tonight.
