Jake Oettinger, welcome to the show.
On the NHL’s biggest stage, the Dallas Stars goaltender playing in his first playoff series as a starter is showing that he’s an emerging force at the position. After allowing the lone goal in his team’s 1-0 Game 1 loss just 5:01 into the playoffs, Oettinger has a shutout streak that now sits at 114 minutes and ticking after leading the Stars to a 2-0 win over the Calgary Flames in Game 2.
Five goaltenders have recorded a shutout in the playoffs in Dallas Stars history. Of those, only one was under the age of 30 when he did it: Oettinger, who is just 23 years old.
