In Thursday’s article, we pieced together a lineup that I entered in the $15 DraftKings Showdown contest that paid $20,000 to 1st place.

Game 5 between the New York Rangers and Tampa Bay Lightning was a bit more of a goaltending duel that we had been expecting for this series. A couple screened shots by defencemen Ryan Lindgren and Mikhail Sergachev gave us a 1-1 game heading into the third period as both Andrei Vasilevskiy and Igor Shesterkin [...]

The Lightning evened the series at two games apiece, after an early goal from Patrick Maroon who is looking for his fourth-straight Stanley Cup, and then two more from the big guns in Steven Stamkos and Nikita Kucherov. Ondrej Palat (more on him later) notched the empty netter, for his third point of the night [...]
