Dallas Stars goaltender Jake Oettinger pulled off one of the most improbable stick saves of the playoffs during Game 4 of the Western Conference Final against the Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday night.
Oettinger dropped his stick after a play in front of the net and was unable to retrieve it with the Oilers pressing the attack. Using just his pads, Oettinger attempted to protect his net, but a shot slid past him that looked destined to be a goal.
Fortunately for Dallas, Oettinger's discarded stick served as a final obstacle for the puck, and it managed to deflect the puck away and prevent what would've been a goal for Edmonton.
