Oettinger, Stars Add to Flames’ Losing Streak
No NHL goalie is hotter than Dallas Stars’ Jake Oettinger.
The 24-year-old Minnesota native made 43 saves Wednesday to lead the Stars to a 4-3 win against the struggling Calgary Flames. Oettinger doesn’t have a regulation loss this season: He is 5-0-1 with a 1.95 goals-against average and .939 save percentage.
"Jakey's a stud," Dallas forward Jamie Benn said. "We don't get any of those wins without him. He's played some great hockey to start the year here. We obviously want to keep improving in front of him."
Benn put up a shorthanded goal, plus an assist, for the Stars who are a point behind the Colorado Avalanche for first place in the Central Division. Mason Marchment, Evgenii Dadonov and Jason Robertson also scored for Dallas. Roope Hintz had two assists. Benn and Hintz are tied for the team lead with eight points.
Dallas has been scoring by committee this season: five players have scored three goals for the team and no one has four.
The Stars beat a Flames team that has lost six consecutive games. Opponents have outscored Calgary 24-9 in the six losses.
The most impressive aspect of the Stars’ 6-1-1 start is they believe they are still working to get their game where they want it to be. For example, they were out-shot badly (22-5) in the third period against the Flames.
"We're working through it,” Dallas coach Peter DeBoer said in the post-game press conference. "We're working on our game. We're building our game. There's lessons being learned. At the same time we're 6-1-1, so it's good, and these are tough teams and tough buildings and desperate teams we're playing. We'll take as many wins as we can get."

🦆 Troy Terry completes hat trick in OT, Ducks beat Coyotes 4-3. The 26-year-old forward opened scoring with a wicked wrister to the top right corner on the power play, banged home a rebound midway through the 1st for his second of the game, and buried a Mason MacTavish feed with 93 seconds remaining in overtime to give the Ducks their 5th straight win. Ducks’ rookie Leo Carlsson scored his 3rd of the season to force OT while Coyotes’ rookie Logan Cooley scored his 1st NHL goal (watch) late in the 1st. Read more →
☝️ Sabres’ rookie Brandon Biro scores first two NHL goals, Buffalo downs Philadelphia 5-2. Playing in just his second NHL game, first of this season, the undrafted forward crashed the net to bang home a Tage Thompson feed from one knee for his first NHL goal before scoring an empty netter to secure the Sabres 2nd consecutive win. Casey Mittelstadt, Owen Power, and Tage Thompson added goals for the Sabres while netminder Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen had a season-high 38 saves. Read more →
Congratulations on your first @NHL goal, @bbiro22!
