US EditionStars Pull Goalie Oettinger After Oilers Score on 1st 2 Shots in Game 5 of West Final
- On Thursday, May 29, 2025, at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, the Dallas Stars were defeated 6-3 by the Edmonton Oilers during the fifth matchup in the Western Conference finals series.
- The Oilers scored on their first two shots, prompting coach Pete DeBoer to pull starting goalie Jake Oettinger 8:07 into the must-win game to try and spark the team.
- Backup Casey DeSmith replaced Oettinger but allowed a third goal by Jeff Skinner less than a minute later, putting the Stars in an early 3-0 hole against a strong Edmonton squad.
- Oettinger, 26, had a.919 save percentage in earlier rounds but entered Game 5 with a.869 save rate, and DeBoer noted the goalie change was due to playoff struggles against Edmonton and a desire to energize the team.
- The loss eliminated Dallas from the playoffs, highlighting ongoing issues with holding leads and generating offense, as the Stars averaged only 2.5 goals per game compared to other teams in the postseason.
