4 – 5Final/OT

STL beat PIT 5–4 in overtime. Expected goals were close to even (PIT 2.7, STL 2.7), so the finishing and the goaltending decided it. The biggest swing: Robert Thomas scored on the power play at 2:12 of overtime, moving STL’s win probability from 54% to 100%. Tristan Jarry allowed 2.4 goals more than expected.
