Brett Howden never put a shot on goal, yet he still scored. His empty-net goal at 17:47 of the 3rd was unassisted and made it 6-2 for Vegas. The chance was worth 0.49 expected goals, meaning how many goals a chance like that typically produces. That is the best look of any goal in the third period. Sometimes the good chance matters more than the shot count.
