Jake Oettinger Gets Nod In Net On Thursday
4 years agoDallas Stars goaltender Jake Oettinger will start in net as his team hosts the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday night. The 22-year-old is fresh off six full days of rest, last suiting up in a loss to the Red Wings last Thursday in which he allowed three goals on 21 shots against in the contest. Despite his last performance, Oettinger (26% owned in Yahoo! leagues) has put together a great rookie season in Dallas thus far - posting a 4-2-6 record, a 2.23 goals-against average and a .913 save percentage in 15 starts. Even though he's been superb in two appearances versus the Bolts this season (2.17 GAA, .927 SVP), the Boston University product should be considered a risky play against such a formidable opponent.
