Location directive not matching as intended

I'm trying to make any request that lacks a file extension be directed to my express server, apart from / and /dashboard, which I want to go to my connect server. /dashboard is supposed to request /dashboard.html from the connect server. Here's what I have:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name myserver;

    index index.html;

    location @connect {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:9001;
    }

    location @express {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:9002;
    }

    location ~* \.(html|js|css|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|ico)$ {
        try_files $uri @connect;
        expires 7d;
    }

    location = / {
        try_files $uri @connect;
    }

    location = /dashboard {
        try_files $uri.html @connect;
    }    

    location / {
        try_files $uri @express;
    }
}

/ goes to the connect server as intended, but /dashboard goes to my express server. Can anyone help me understand what I'm doing wrong?

The solution is to replace:

location = /dashboard {
    try_files $uri.html @connect;
}

with

location = /dashboard {
    proxy_pass http://localhost:9001/dashboard.html;
}

I think the issue is because you used location = /dashboard and i believe that this for example won't match /dashboard/, do u want only the exact location to match? i mean why not use location /dashboard/ ( removing the = )
