4 – 2Final

COL beat SJS 4–2. Expected goals were close to even (COL 2.8, SJS 2.7), so the finishing and the goaltending decided it. The biggest swing: Joel Kiviranta scored at 13:06 of the third, moving COL’s win probability from 49% to 84%. Alexandar Georgiev allowed 1.2 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.
