5 – 4Final/SO

STL beat VGK 5–4 in a shootout. STL lost the expected-goals battle 2.8 to 4.7 and won anyway, a result the shot quality did not support. The biggest swing: Max Pacioretty scored at 16:35 of the third, moving VGK’s win probability from 10% to 51%. Robin Lehner allowed 2.8 goals more than expected.

Net goals for one game are noisy: a single goal against on the ice or a lucky finish moves them a lot. See the card guide and Net Goals 101 for how they are built.
