Jake Oettinger hasn’t missed a beat after the Olympic break.
The Dallas Stars goalie has played a key role in his team’s recent success. For that, he was honored as the NHL’s Second Star of the Week.
Oettinger earned the latest honor after posting a 3-0-0 record in games from March 10-14. He posted a 1.65 goals-against average and a .940 save percentage as Dallas defeated the Vegas Golden Knights, Edmonton Oilers and Detroit Red Wings.
