Stars fell to the Wild
The Stars created the better chances (2.7 to 1.7 expected goals) — and lost 2–4. An empty-net goal padded the final score; it was a one-goal game until then.
Who had the better chances
Expected goals (xG) score every shot by how often shots like it go in: distance, angle, type, rebound, rush. Adding them up shows who created the better chances, whatever the scoreboard says.
The Stars created the better chances: 2.7 expected goals to 1.7, on 22 and 28 shots on goal.
