1 – 4Final

BOS beat ARI 4–1. Expected goals were close to even (ARI 1.9, BOS 2.0), so the finishing and the goaltending decided it. The biggest swing: Riley Nash scored short-handed at 7:07 of the second, moving BOS’s win probability from 52% to 72%. Mike Smith allowed 2.8 goals more than expected.
