the final is set for thursday night 2/25.
in the semi-final round it was...
eyeofnewt 36.3 over hughhaf12 32.5 (in a cruel twist of fate, hughhaf12 didn't check his starting goalies. he had bishop for tampa bay who didn't start and got zero points, while eyeofnewt used vasilevskiy as tampa bays goalie who did start and scored 7.8 points which was a big difference in the outcome.

horacegrant31 30.3 over fantasythrow1 16.5

for the final it'll be eyeofnewt who has racked up an average of 38.64 points per game in rounds 1-5 versus
horagegrant31 who has averaged 29.06 points thru rounds 1-5.

good luck to the finalists.
the contest final (for thursday night) is now live in the draftkings lobby under free contests. (100 player by 3dogshambala)
