3 – 4Final/OT

DAL beat CAR 4–3 in overtime. Expected goals were close to even (CAR 2.9, DAL 3.1), so the finishing and the goaltending decided it. The biggest swing: Jamie Benn scored at 2:44 of overtime, moving DAL’s win probability from 52% to 100%. James Reimer allowed 1.1 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.
