4 – 3Final/OT

SJS took this one from LAK, 4–3 in overtime. No robbery here: SJS also won the expected-goals battle 4.2 to 3.0, and the better chances went the right way. The goal that mattered most: William Eklund scored at 3:08 of overtime and moved SJS’s win probability from 48% to 100%. A tough night in net for Darcy Kuemper: he allowed 2.1 goals more than expected.

One game is a tiny sample: a single goal against on a player’s shift or a lucky finish moves his net goals a lot, so don’t trade anyone over a rough night. See the card guide and Net Goals 101 for how they’re built.
