Oettinger sharp in Game 5 win
Jake Oettinger stopped 25 shots Wednesday in a 3-2 win over the Golden Knights in Game 5 of the Stars’ first-round series. Both goals he allowed came in the first period, and Oettinger slammed the door shut over the final 40 minutes to give Dallas its third straight victory. The 25-year-old netminder has a 2.31 GAA and .911 save percentage in his five starts this postseason, and he’s given up exactly two goals in four straight outings. Oettinger will look to finish the job back in Vegas on Friday in Game 6.
Hill makes 22 saves in 3-2 Game 5 loss
Adin Hill made 22 saves Wednesday in a 3-2 loss to the Stars in Game 5 of the Golden Knights’ first-round series. Two of Dallas’ goals came on power plays, including Jason Robertson’s game-winner in the second period, and Hill had little chance on the other in his first action so far this postseason. After taking a 2-0 lead in the series, Vegas has lost three straight games and will face elimination on home ice Friday. It’s not clear whether Hill will be back between the pipes for Game 6 with the season on the line, or if coach Bruce Cassidy will turn back to Logan Thompson.

Given Vegas’ struggles offensively in this series, coupled with its stout defense, the under is the safest/best bet on the board tonight at T-Mobile Arena.
