Oettinger Stops 232 in Win
Jake Oettinger turned aside 32 of 34 shots in Tuesday’s 4-2 victory over Carolina. Oettinger was sharp Tuesday, holding the Hurricanes to a pair of second-period goals en route to a sixth straight win and his eighth victory in nine outings. The 25-year-old netminder improved to 19-9-2 with a .906 save percentage and a 2.90 GAA this season. Oettinger will likely get the chance for a seventh straight win Thursday on the road versus Nashville.
Saros Keeps Busy in Loss
Juuse Saros stopped 43 of 46 shots in Tuesday’s 4-2 loss to the Devils. The fourth goal was an empty-netter. Saros’ 43 saves were by far a season high, but the Devils’ relentless attack proved too much. The 28-year-old has gone 5-7-1 over 13 games since the start of January, a mediocre stretch that has the Predators just treading water in the wild-card race. Saros is down to 20-20-2 with a 2.97 GAA and a .903 save percentage through 42 starts. Only Saros and Petr Mrazek have at least 20 losses among goalies with 30 appearances so far this season.
