Oettinger stops 28 of 29 shots in win
Jake Oettinger stopped 28 of 29 shots in Saturday’s 3-1 win over the Oilers in Game 2. The Oilers dominated the first period but came away with just one goal from Connor Brown. Oettinger was dialed in the rest of the way, and the Stars were able to build and maintain a lead in the third. Oettinger still hasn’t lost back-to-back games since the first two contests of the postseason. He’s 9-6 with a 2.04 GAA and a .922 save percentage over 15 playoff contests and is a virtual lock to get the nod in Monday’s Game 3 in Edmonton.
Skinner stops 22 of 24 shots in loss
Stuart Skinner stopped 22 of 24 shots in Saturday’s 3-1 loss to the Stars in Game 2. The third goal was an empty-netter. Skinner gave up a goal to Jamie Benn on a 2-on-1 in the first period, and Mason Marchment tipped in the game-winner in the third. It’s tough to find much fault in Skinner’s performance in his first loss in four starts, a span in which he’s allowed a total of seven goals. The 25-year-old is 8-4 with a 2.65 GAA and an .890 save percentage over 12 playoff outings, though he’s been better in recent games. Skinner will likely be between the pipes again for Monday’s Game 3 in Edmonton.
