Cooley Holds the Fort as Detroit Keeps Firing at Calgary
Gibson watches four go past at the other end while Farabee and Gridin lead the Flames' scoring
Written during the game · 12:31 AM ET. Final was DET 1, CGY 4.
Detroit has thrown nearly everything at Devin Cooley, and Calgary still leads 4-1 with 4:41 left in the 3rd (15:19 played in the period).
The Red Wings have had the better of the play: shot attempts are 53-34 for Detroit, and shots on goal are 28-22. Cooley has stopped 27 of 28, and the one that beat him was Andrew Copp's tying goal early in the 2nd.
The biggest saves came on the best looks. Detroit has had 18 high-danger chances, which are shots from the prime scoring areas, to Calgary's 8. Cooley has turned away 12 of the 13 that reached him. His expected goals against, meaning how many goals an average goalie would have allowed on those shots, is 2.36, so he has saved about 1.36 more than expected.
At the other end, John Gibson has stopped 18 of 22. Joel Farabee has a goal and two assists, and Matvei Gridin has a goal and an assist. Dylan Larkin has six shots on goal for Detroit and has nothing to show for it.
