3 – 4Final/OT

NJD beat BOS 4–3 in overtime. NJD lost the expected-goals battle 2.5 to 3.5 and won anyway, a result the shot quality did not support. The biggest swing: Pavel Zacha scored on the power play at 2:42 of overtime, moving NJD’s win probability from 54% to 100%. Jaroslav Halak allowed 1.5 goals more than expected.
