8 – 4Final

TBL beat NJD 8–4. Expected goals were close to even (TBL 3.0, NJD 3.3), so the finishing and the goaltending decided it. The biggest swing: Nick Paul scored at 2:57 of the first, moving TBL’s win probability from 47% to 62%. Jake Allen allowed 1.9 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.
