Stars' Jake Oettinger: Falls to Vegas in decisive Game 6
Oettinger kicked out 23 of 29 shots in a 6-0 loss to Vegas in Game 6 on Monday.
Oettinger was solid over his previous two starts, stopping 64 of 68 shots in that span. However, he was beaten three times on 16 shots in the first period, and neither Oettinger nor the Stars were able to turn the tide after that initial setback. The 24-year-old was fantastic in the regular season with a 37-11-11 record, 2.37 GAA and .919 save percentage in 62 outings, but he left plenty to be desired with a 3.06 GAA and an .895 save percentage in 19 postseason contests this year.

Down 3-0 in the series, Oettinger has stepped up with his back against the wall. He's stopped a combined 64 of 68 shots over the last two games to avoid elimination, bringing his series save percentage to .896. The 24-year-old is starting to look like his usual self again, but he's struggled overall this postseason, posting a lackluster 2.89 GAA and .901 save percentage through 18 contests.

Stars' Jake Oettinger: Set to start Saturday
Oettinger will guard the road goal in Saturday's Game 5 versus the Golden Knights, Saad Yousuf of The Athletic reports.
Head coach Pete DeBoer said the Stars would go with the same lineup from Game 4, which included Oettinger, who made 37 saves in a 3-2 overtime win. Oettinger's status is about as close to a lock as it gets, as he's started all 17 playoff contests so far. He has a 9-8 record, a 2.94 GAA and an .899 save percentage, and he'll look to keep the Stars' season alive again Saturday.

Oettinger stopped 37 of 39 shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Golden Knights in Game 4.
Oettinger was solid throughout the game, bouncing back from giving up an early goal to William Karlsson. The win was his first beyond regulation time this postseason -- overtime has been arguably his biggest playoff weakness. He's now at a 9-8 record with a 2.94 GAA and an .899 save percentage through 17 playoff contests. Oettinger's a virtual lock to start against in Saturday's Game 5.

Stars' Jake Oettinger: Chased early in Game 3
Oettinger stopped two of five shots in Tuesday's 4-0 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 3.
Between a Jamie Benn game misconduct and a sluggish start from the rest of the Stars, Oettinger found himself out of the game after 7:10 of the first period. He's now lost three straight contests to open the Eastern Conference Finals, allowing 10 goals on 66 shots in that span. The Stars will likely stick with him for Thursday's Game 4, but they'll now need four straight wins if they're going to play for the Stanley Cup.

Stars' Jake Oettinger: Suffers overtime loss
Oettinger stopped 21 of 24 shots as the Stars suffered a 3-2 overtime loss to Vegas in Game 2 on Sunday.
Oettinger continues to make tough saves and keep the Stars in games, but he's also let in some soft goals recently. He's posted a save percentage above .892 only once in the last last four games and twice in the past seven. Oettinger has proven capable of stealing games on his own, but if his struggles continue, the Stars may have no choice but to turn to backup Scott Wedgewood, as they now trail 2-0 in the Western Conference Final.

Stars' Jake Oettinger: Wins in Game 7
Oettinger stopped 22 of 23 shots in Monday's 2-1 win over the Kraken in Game 7.
The first half of the contest was pretty tightly contested, but the Kraken got sloppier late in the second period. Oettinger ultimately wasn't tested much, losing his shutout bid on Oliver Bjorkstrand's top-shelf shot in the final minute of the third period. Oettinger leads all goaltenders this postseason with eight wins, and he has added a 2.75 GAA and a .903 save percentage though 13 contests. The Stars will have some time to collect themselves ahead of Friday, when they begin the Western Conference Finals in Vegas.
