1 – 2Final/OT

WPG beat WSH 2–1 in overtime. Expected goals were close to even (WSH 3.2, WPG 3.3), so the finishing and the goaltending decided it. The biggest swing: Mark Scheifele scored at 4:40 of overtime, moving WPG’s win probability from 52% to 100%. Connor Hellebuyck saved 2.6 goals above expected.
