1 – 5Final

LAK beat VGK 5–1. LAK lost the expected-goals battle 2.2 to 2.7 and won anyway, a result the shot quality did not support. The biggest swing: Matt Luff scored on the power play at 12:30 of the second, moving LAK’s win probability from 54% to 74%. Marc-Andre Fleury allowed 2.9 goals more than expected.
