As both Sutter and Johnny said, the scoring chances were definitely there. They just didn't capitalize. Most of those chances would have found the back of the net a week ago, but Oettinger appears to be in their heads a bit and they looked like they were over-thinking things and gripping their sticks as a result.
Flames need to make his life more difficult in game 3. Find a way to get their sticks on some of those juicy rebounds he was giving up, bang a couple of those in, and we'll be fine. Also, maybe try passing on some of those 2 on 1s instead of just constantly firing the puck into his chest. Force him to move more.
