4 – 5Final/OT

MTL beat SEA 5–4 in overtime. Expected goals were close to even (SEA 2.1, MTL 2.2), so the finishing and the goaltending decided it. The biggest swing: Cole Caufield scored at 3:25 of overtime, moving MTL’s win probability from 52% to 100%. Joey Daccord allowed 2.7 goals more than expected.
