1 – 2Final

OTT took this one from PHI, 2–1. Call it a steal: OTT lost the expected-goals battle 2.4 to 3.3 and won anyway, a result the shot quality didn’t support. The goal that mattered most: Carter Yakemchuk scored on the power play at 13:01 of the third and moved OTT’s win probability from 53% to 86%. Linus Ullmark stood on his head: 4.7 goals saved above 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.
