Joel Eriksson Ek has been the best chance-maker on the ice, and the box score only half shows it. He set up Kirill Kaprizov's opening goal, then scored himself at 13:00 elapsed in the 2nd (33:02 of game time played) to make it 4-1 for Minnesota.
His two shots on goal were worth 0.79 expected goals, meaning his chances were worth nearly a full goal, the most of any player in the game. Minnesota has also outshot Seattle in attempts 41-30.
