Devils fell to the Flyers
Chances were even (2.9 to 3.2 expected goals); the Devils lost 3–5. 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.
Chances were close: 2.9 expected goals to 3.2, on 32 and 31 shots on goal.
