Chicago’s 4–2 at Colorado looked much closer on shot count than on the scoreboard: both sides took 14 attempts. Chicago put 11 of theirs inside the box to Colorado’s eight, and the match was still level after Colorado’s second goal. Did Chicago start finding a new route into the area, or did Colorado’s cover fail as the game opened up? I’d love to hear what the equal shot totals miss.
Our provisional result has the sides level at the break and Chicago scoring twice after the game reached 2–2. The final-stat feed records Chicago at 2.31 expected goals and Colorado at 1.38. Those figures describe chance quality in the record, but they do not tell us which off-ball movement created the late openings.
