1 – 5Final

COL beat LAK 5–1. Expected goals were close to even (LAK 2.3, COL 2.2), so the finishing and the goaltending decided it. The biggest swing: Logan O'Connor scored at 7:44 of the first, moving COL’s win probability from 53% to 70%. Alexandar Georgiev saved 1.2 goals above 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.
