All 12 goals he’s let in have been in the first two periods.

But when his team picked him up with a power-play goal in the second period by Jason Robertson to take the lead, Oettinger finished Vegas off from there.“He’s getting better and better as the series is going, and we needed it,” Duchene said. “This series, every game has been a one-goal game, so you need your goalies to come up big, and he sure did.”
