4 – 5Final/OT

VGK beat NSH 5–4 in overtime. Expected goals were close to even (NSH 3.1, VGK 2.9), so the finishing and the goaltending decided it. The biggest swing: Nicolas Hague scored on the power play at 2:04 of overtime, moving VGK’s win probability from 52% to 100%. Kevin Lankinen allowed 1.8 goals more than expected.
