Location: Cable Dahmer Arena — Independence, Missouri

What to know
The Comets, winners of 10 straight, have plenty of firepower going forward but there’s no doubt that Zach Reget is the man to lead the way. With 35 goals in 22 games, he averages 2.2 points per game and has the ability to finish from anywhere in the attacking third. He was co-top scorer in the league, while Rian Marques leads the Comets in the postseason with nine points on three goals and six assists.
On the other side, the Savage, reigning champs, won both meetings this season by a combined score of 11 to 4. Four players have scored at least 15 goals with Huge Puentes’ 21 goals and 13 assists helping this team get to this stage. Diego Reynoso in goal is one to watch after saving 75% of shots faced this campaign and has a 24-9-2 record in the playoffs. The Savage hope to become the third team ever to go back-to-back in the MASL.
Format
For Game 1, if tied after 60 minutes, it will go to golden goal to decide the winner.
There is no aggregate score. It’s essentially a best-of-three series across two games. If each team wins one game, you go to a 15-minute knockout game immediately following Game 2, but it is not golden goal. If still tied after the 15 minutes, it then goes to golden goal with 10-minute overtimes until there is a winner.
