3 – 2Final/OT

STL beat LAK 3–2 in overtime. Expected goals were close to even (STL 2.4, LAK 2.5), so the finishing and the goaltending decided it. The biggest swing: Mike Hoffman scored on the power play at 1:30 of overtime, moving STL’s win probability from 48% to 100%. Ville Husso saved 1.0 goals above 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.
