The #NYR had slightly better third after a disaster of a second period where they earned less than 11% of the xG share according to @NatStatTrick. Definitely missing that pop they had in the third, so curious how this overtime goes.
Couple notes:
- all situation shot attempts are 77-44 in PIT's favor
- 5v5 attempts are 2-11 in the #NYR's favor with the Goodrow-Rooney-Reaves line on
- 5v5 shot attempts are 24-9 in PIT's favor with Guentzel on the ice.
Igor Shesterkin has saved 2.5 goals above expected on the 5.5 xG the Penguins have created in all situations, via @NatStatTrick.
And I was told the Rangers over-relying on Shesterkin was a narrative, not a fact. Odd!

Zukey started out strong, picking home teams only - funny enough, when west home teams were on the right, she took them. east home teams went on the left… still picked them.
She got spicy by Round 2, opting for MIN over COL and TOR over FLA.
The second round is as far as TOR went, losing to CAR. MIN beat EDM to reach the Final.
The winner? The Minnesota Wild. All too accurate for Zukey.
