6 – 7Final/SO

CBJ beat VAN 7–6 in a shootout. Expected goals were close to even (VAN 2.9, CBJ 3.2), so the finishing and the goaltending decided it. The biggest swing: Aatu Räty scored at 17:31 of the third, moving VAN’s win probability from 7% to 49%. Kevin Lankinen allowed 2.7 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.
