Oettinger Sunk in Overtime by Edmonton
Jake Oettinger turned aside 20 shots in Saturday’s 4-3 overtime loss to the Oilers. All the scoring in regulation came in a wild second period, before Evan Bouchard flipped the OT winner through a screen to beat Oettinger and snap his seven-start win streak. The 25-year-old netminder still has only one regulation loss in his last 11 outings, going 9-1-1 with a 2.83 GAA and .911 save percentage.
Ullmark Falls to L.A. in Overtime
Linus Ullmark stopped 30 shots in Saturday’s 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings. The veteran netminder appeared to be headed for a regulation victory until Pavel Zacha took a holding penalty late in the third period, and Anze Kopitar potted the tying tally on the subsequent power play. The Bruins then had a power-play chance of their own in OT, but instead, the Kings killed it off and saw Brandt Clarke step out of the penalty box to score the winner on a breakaway. Ullmark is 3-1-2 in six starts since returning from a lower-body injury in late January, allowing 16 goals on 168 shots (.905 save percentage) in his usual timeshare with Jeremy Swayman.
