5 – 7Final

BOS beat PIT 7–5. Expected goals were close to even (PIT 2.1, BOS 2.2), so the finishing and the goaltending decided it. The biggest swing: David Krejci scored on the power play at 18:29 of the second, moving BOS’s win probability from 53% to 76%. Casey DeSmith allowed 3.6 goals more than expected.
