To say Jake Oettinger has been amazing in this first round series against the Calgary Flames would be a tremendous understatement. He’s been the best player on the ice for the Dallas Stars. Heck, I’d argue that he’s been the best player on the ice, period.
Game six is the only game in which Dallas has outshot the Flames. And yet, here we are in a game seven. Why? Because of Oettinger. And the Stars would need him to be brilliant again. That he was. Look no further than the last sequence of the second period.
