An overtime goal from Tomas Tatar propelled Europe past Sweden into the World Cup of Hockey final.
Lenard was the most successful predicting the outcomes of the semifinal games. Kelly has drawn level with Wes entering the best-of-three final round. Four players had one game winner correct while no players had either score correct.

Russia will meet Canada in Saturday’s semifinal after blanking Finland 3-0 at the World Cup of Hockey on Thursday.
Wes is our leader after the first of three tournament stages on the strength of having three of the advancing teams correct. No players had a group predicted in the correct order.

Canada found itself down a goal early in its crucial World Cup of Hockey matchup against the United States on Tuesday night, but the stellar work of the Canadians’ unusual fourth-line combination ultimately made the difference.
