Jake Oettinger Tames The Wild With A Shutout In Game 5
2 years agoDallas Stars goaltender Jake Oettinger didn't let anything past him in Game 5 against Minnesota on Tuesday, posting his second playoff career shutout with 27 saves in a 4-0 victory. It's also the first shutout of the 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Oettinger was outstanding during the regular season, and he has continued his impressive play in the postseason, allowing only 2.19 goals per game with a .925 save percentage. Both numbers show slight improvements from his regular-season work. Having an in-form goalie sets you up nicely for Stanley Cup glory, and with Oettinger at the top of his game, the Stars are already close to winning one series in the playoffs, needing just one more victory against the Wild.
