What is xGA?

Can you (or anyone) quickly explain why Elliott was expected to allow 2.83 GA60, while Allen was only expected to allow 2.53?

I know you linked to a web page explaining all this, but I'm just looking for a short answer if possible. Like, is there some sort of Skill Quotient involved, where Allen has a higher-rated skillset and thus was expected to allow less goals? (They both play for the same team using the same system.)
