5 – 2Final

BOS beat CHI 5–2. Expected goals were close to even (BOS 2.7, CHI 2.5), so the finishing and the goaltending decided it. The biggest swing: Viktor Arvidsson scored at 19:14 of the second, moving BOS’s win probability from 48% to 72%. Arvid Soderblom allowed 2.1 goals more than expected.
