An area that I find to be most useful from the NHL Edge platform in its inaugural version has been the goaltender section. Specifically, we can look at Shots Against, Saves, Goals Against, and Save Percentage (Save %) in each of the designated 'cut-off' parts of the ice that offer us insights into where goalies are at their strongest and weakest. Let's use this tool to look at Jake Oettinger's recent decline. In Jake Oettinger's case, this new wave of data available to the public can show us the context behind some of Oettinger's inconsistencies.
In a battle for second place in the Central Division Tuesday night, the Dallas Stars came into Winnipeg and beat the Jets for the second time in November with a 2-0 shutout victory. The Jets failed to capitalize on a pair of 5-on-3 power plays as they were shutout for the first time this season. The Jets had 1:08 of a two-man advantage in the second period and only mustered two shots. “We got to make them pay when we have two opportunities 5-on-3,” said Jets forward Nino Niederreiter.
DALLAS -- — Jack Eichel scored 1:57 into overtime after initially whiffing at the puck and the Vegas Golden Knights beat the Dallas Stars 2-1 on Wednesday night. Eichel was trying to shoot and missed while skating by defenseman Thomas Harley. After the puck kept moving forward, Eichel stayed with it and knocked it past goalie Jake Oettinger for his eighth goal of the season. It was the fourth consecutive regular-season game between Vegas and Dallas that went beyond regulation.
