5 – 6Final/OT

NJD beat EDM 6–5 in overtime. Expected goals were close to even (EDM 3.2, NJD 3.5), so the finishing and the goaltending decided it. The biggest swing: Jack Hughes scored at 2:55 of overtime, moving NJD’s win probability from 52% to 100%. Mike Smith allowed 2.0 goals more than expected.
