6 – 7Final/OT

VAN beat MTL 7–6 in overtime. Expected goals were close to even (MTL 3.2, VAN 3.0), so the finishing and the goaltending decided it. The biggest swing: Elias Pettersson scored at 0:13 of overtime, moving VAN’s win probability from 52% to 100%. Samuel Montembeault allowed 3.7 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.
