7 – 2Final

UTA beat NYI 7–2. Expected goals were close to even (UTA 2.9, NYI 2.7), so the finishing and the goaltending decided it. The biggest swing: Dylan Guenther scored at 10:20 of the second, moving UTA’s win probability from 47% to 68%. David Rittich allowed 3.3 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.
