Expected goals, like plus/minus and many others, is a team stat. It is a function of all the players he is on the ice with, along with who they are matched up against. It tells us absolutely nothing with respect to how well a player plays.
And then there is the tiny sample size of a single game. One or two plays that either work out or don't end up with a scoring chance, will dictate what this number is (good or bad) for the game.
