Monahan Scores Goal, Nets Assist in Win
Sean Monahan tallied a goal and an assist in Tuesday’s 4-2 victory over St. Louis. After missing Sunday’s contest with an illness, Monahan opened the scoring Tuesday, beating Joel Hofer from the slot to give the Jets an early lead. Monahan would add a second point with an assist on Alex Iafallo’s marker in the third. The 29-year-old Monahan has six goals and seven points in his last five contests after going scoreless in his first four games with Winnipeg. Monahan’s up to 42 points (19 goals, 23 assists) through 58 games between the Jets and Canadiens this season.
Oettinger Allows Five Goals in Loss
Jake Oettinger stopped 22 of 27 shots in Tuesday’s 5-1 loss to the Avalanche. The Stars scored at the one-minute mark, but it was all Avalanche after that. Oettinger gave up three goals in the second period to effectively end the Stars’ chances of a comeback push. The 25-year-old has surrendered four or more goals in four of his last 12 outings, though he’s gone 8-2-2 in that span. Oettinger’s at 21-11-4 with a 2.98 GAA and a .901 save percentage through 37 games this season. The Stars have another tough matchup ahead when they host the Jets on Thursday.
