3 – 4Final/OT

NJD beat COL 4–3 in overtime. Expected goals were close to even (COL 2.7, NJD 2.5), so the finishing and the goaltending decided it. The biggest swing: Jack Hughes scored at 1:53 of overtime, moving NJD’s win probability from 52% to 100%. Trent Miner allowed 1.9 goals more than expected.
