NSH took this one from VAN, 3–2. No robbery here: NSH also won the expected-goals battle 3.9 to 2.5, and the better chances went the right way. The goal that mattered most: Ryan Johansen scored at 19:39 of the third and moved NSH’s win probability from 51% to 98%.
How it felt from the stands, priced second by second by the site’s win-probability model: score, time left and the manpower on the ice. Dots are goals; hover for the swing.
Who was actually getting the chances: a running total of each team’s shot quality (unblocked attempts). Dots are goals.
Not the arena’s picks, the model’s. Net goals added in this game versus a league-average player: on-ice goal share, finishing, playmaking, suppression, drawn and taken penalties, faceoffs; goalies by goals saved above expected.

One game is a tiny sample: a single goal against on a player’s shift or a lucky finish moves his net goals a lot, so don’t trade anyone over a rough night. See the card guide and Net Goals 101 for how they’re built.
