3 – 2Final/OT

BUF beat MTL 3–2 in overtime. Expected goals were close to even (BUF 3.0, MTL 3.1), so the finishing and the goaltending decided it. The biggest swing: Zach Bogosian scored at 1:48 of overtime, moving BUF’s win probability from 48% to 100%. Robin Lehner saved 1.1 goals above expected.
