4 – 3Final/SO

VGK beat NYI 4–3 in a shootout. Expected goals were close to even (VGK 2.7, NYI 2.7), so the finishing and the goaltending decided it. The biggest swing: Shea Theodore scored on the power play at 19:12 of the third, moving VGK’s win probability from 4% to 50%.

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.
