Must-win scenario

• Trailing 3-2 in their best-of-seven series, the Stars host the Calgary Flames in Game 6 at American Airlines Center on Friday.
• The Stars fell 3-1 to Calgary in Game 5 at Scotiabank Saddledome on Wednesday. Jason Robertson tallied his first career postseason goal, while Jamie Benn and Esa Lindell earned assists. Jake Oettinger stopped 29 of 31 shots.
• The Stars franchise (1967-present) has a 22-17 record in Game 6s, including a 12-12 record at home.
• Since moving to Dallas (1993-present), the team boasts a 14-9 record in Game 6s and a 4-6 record on home ice.
• When trailing 3-2 in a best-of-seven series, the franchise holds a 3-16 all-time series record and a 2-12 all-time record in series that started on the road.
• The franchise holds a 3-9 all-time series record when trailing 3-2 in a best-of-seven series. The last time the club won a series in which it trailed 3-2 through five games was in the 1999 Western Conference Final vs. Colorado.

In Otter we trust

• Oettinger leads all league netminders in the postseason (minimum four games played) with a .956 save percentage and ranks second with a 1.63 goals-against average.
• Oettinger has also added one shutout, which is tied for the most by any goaltender during the postseason.
• With his shutout in Game 2, Oettinger (23 years, 138 days) became the second-youngest goaltender in franchise history to win a playoff game after Don Beaupre (19 years, 202 days) in Game 2 of the 1981 Preliminary Round with the Minnesota North Stars.
• He became the fifth goaltender in Dallas Stars history (1993-present) to record a shutout in the postseason, becoming the youngest netminder to accomplish this feat.
• He joined the ranks of Anton Khudobin, Kari Lehtonen (2x), Marty Turco (4x) and Ed Belfour (8x) as netminders who have recorded clean sheets for Dallas in the playoffs.
• In his most recent start at home (Game 4), Oettinger turned aside 50 of 54 shots becoming the fifth different goaltender in Stars/North Stars history to make 50+ saves in a playoff game and the first since Ben Bishop in Game 7 of the 2019 Second Round at St. Louis. He also became the only netminder in franchise history to record as many saves in a postseason contest that ended in regulation.
