He nearly came away with his fourth shutout of the season, but Kailer Yamamoto got a puck past the 25-year-old netminder late in the third period. Oettinger might be the hottest goalie in the NHL to close out the regular season, going 9-1-0 over his last 10 starts with a 1.61 GAA and .939 save percentage. His surge has helped Dallas clinch a Central Division title and remain just one point back of the Rangers in the race for the Presidents' Trophy.
