Rotowire

Oettinger's three-game winning streak was snapped in the low-scoring contest despite him allowing fewer goals versus the Ducks than he did in any of those victories.

He's now at a 26-12-1 record with a 2.31 GAA and a .912 save percentage through 39 appearances this season.

Rotowire
Oettinger stopped 18 of 21 shots in Friday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights.
Oettinger didn't have his best performance from a statistical perspective, as he posted a save percentage below the .860 mark for the first time since a 5-4 loss to the Rangers on Jan. 7.

Oettinger has gone 3-2-0 over his last five outings, but he owns a solid 1.83 GAA and a .928 save percentage over that stretch. Fantasy managers should continue to trust him going forward, regardless of the opponent.

Oettinger will patrol the crease in Thursday's home clash with Montreal, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
Oettinger is riding a six-game winning streak during which he's posted a 1.78 GAA and .930 save percentage. If there is a knock on the 26-year-old netminder's performance this season, it's the fact that he has just one shutout in 32 appearances, and that came back on Oct. 12 versus the Islanders. Still, Oettinger is sporting a career-best 2.31 GAA and should easily reach the 30-win mark for the fourth straight season.
