Pietrangelo records an assist, four shots on goal
Alex Pietrangelo recorded an assist, four shots on goal and four blocked shots in Friday’s 2-0 win over the Stars in Game 6. The helper was Pietrangelo’s first point in six playoff outings. The veteran defenseman has added 10 shots on net, eight hits, 13 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating. Pietrangelo is seeing top-four minutes, but he’s also being leaned on for his defense, so his chances to produce points may be limited.
Oettinger stops 28 of 29 shots in loss
Jake Oettinger stopped 28 of 29 shots in Friday’s 2-0 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 6. The second goal was an empty-netter. Oettinger was sharp and occasionally spectacular in this contest, but his teammates couldn’t solve Adin Hill at the other end of the ice. Oettinger gave up four goals in Game 1, but he’s surrendered just nine tallies over the last five contests to give the Stars a solid chance against the defending champions. The 25-year-old is a near guarantee to start in Sunday’s Game 7 at home, but he’ll undoubtedly need more goal support in order for the Stars to keep their playoff run alive.
