3 – 1Final

EDM took this one from CAR, 3–1. Call it a steal: EDM lost the expected-goals battle 3.4 to 4.5 and won anyway, a result the shot quality didn’t support. The goal that mattered most: Corey Perry scored at 16:29 of the second and moved EDM’s win probability from 71% to 87%. Calvin Pickard stood on his head: 5.9 goals saved above expected.

One game is a tiny sample: a single goal against on a player’s shift or a lucky finish moves his net goals a lot, so don’t trade anyone over a rough night. See the card guide and Net Goals 101 for how they’re built.
