5 – 4Final/OT

STL beat PIT 5–4 in overtime. Expected goals were close to even (STL 3.3, PIT 3.5), so the finishing and the goaltending decided it. The biggest swing: Alex Pietrangelo scored at 1:15 of overtime, moving STL’s win probability from 48% to 100%. Matt Murray allowed 1.9 goals more than expected.
