3 – 2Final

VGK beat CBJ 3–2. Expected goals were close to even (VGK 2.1, CBJ 2.2), so the finishing and the goaltending decided it. The biggest swing: Brayden McNabb scored at 13:13 of the third, moving VGK’s win probability from 49% to 84%. Jet Greaves 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.
