Jake Oettinger (Dallas Stars) Over 22.5 Saves (-120)

Looking at Jake Oettinger's recent performances, he has an average of 24.6 saves per game over his last 5 games overall. Although his home game average slightly dips to 20.2 saves, it's important to note that Oettinger faces an average of 27 shots per game overall, with 22.2 average shots against at home games. This suggests that Oettinger has a fairly high save rate, which is promising for an 'over' bet.
