4 – 5Final

PIT beat TBL 5–4. Expected goals were close to even (TBL 3.0, PIT 3.1), so the finishing and the goaltending decided it. The biggest swing: Michael Bunting scored at 14:32 of the third, moving PIT’s win probability from 51% to 88%. Andrei Vasilevskiy allowed 2.2 goals more than expected.
