3 – 4Final/OT

COL beat TOR 4–3 in overtime. COL lost the expected-goals battle 2.1 to 2.5 and won anyway, a result the shot quality did not support. The biggest swing: J.T. Compher scored on the power play at 3:25 of overtime, moving COL’s win probability from 54% to 100%. Calvin Pickard allowed 2.0 goals more than expected.
