Spending up in any daily fantasy lineup is how to get the superstars and the highest upside players in your lineup. In NHL DFS, it’s different from paying up in sports like NBA or NFL.

Let’s make sure we are paying up in the right spots when building our lineups tonight.
Thursday night features six contests. Let's take a look at what studs we may find.
