His .923 save percentage is fourth-best in the league among goalies with at least 10 games played. His 2.35 goals against average is fifth-best in the NHL among the same group. On Thursday night, he posted the fourth shutout of his career when the Stars beat the Ducks 5-0.
“Jake was really solid,” Stars coach Pete DeBoer said after Thursday’s game. “He was quiet, he was composed.” Oettinger was supposed to start Monday in St. Louis, but did not because of an illness. He practiced Wednesday and skated Thursday morning before“He had that stomach bug or whatever, and he comes back and when we needed him, he was there,” Stars forward Jason Robertson said. “That’s another great performance from him.”
When he returned, he did so with a .891 save percentage and 3.48 GAA in his next eight games. He allowed five goals on three different occasions, including a 13-save effort against San Jose on Nov. 11. If Oettinger was a league-average goalie on the PK, the Stars would have allowed 5.46 more goals this season. That continued Thursday night.
