Oettinger will protect the home net Tuesday against San Jose, per Mike Heika of the Stars' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger is coming off a 34-save shutout victory over the Islanders on Saturday. He has stopped 67 of 70 shots en route to a 2-0-0 record this season. San Jose has scored a mere four goals through two contests this campaign.

Oettinger stopped 34 shots in a 3-0 shutout win over the Islanders on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger was outstanding Saturday and earned his first shutout of the season in the Stars' home opener. Casey DeSmith will start Sunday against the Kraken in the second half of a back-to-back set, but Oettinger should return to his regular starting role when the Stars take on the Sharks on Tuesday.

Oettinger will guard the home net Saturday against the Islanders, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger will get the nod in the Stars' home opener after stopping 33 of 36 shots in Thursday's win over Nashville. The 25-year-old Oettinger went 35-14-4 with a 2.72 GAA and .905 save percentage across 54 regular-season outings in 2023-24.

Oettinger stopped 32 of 35 shots in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

After a scoreless first period, the Stars erupted for a 4-1 lead after the middle frame. Oettinger let in a couple of goals in the third, but the lead held. After career-worsts in GAA (2.72) and save percentage (.905) over 54 appearances in the 2023-24 regular season, Oettinger will look to bounce back this season. The 25-year-old should see a large share of starts in goal, though he'll likely split this weekend's back-to-back at home with Casey DeSmith. The Stars face the Islanders on Saturday and the Kraken on Sunday.

Oettinger will get the Opening Night start on the road versus Nashville on Thursday, according to Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger is expected to handle the majority of the starts for the Stars this season, with Casey DeSmith backing him up. Oettinger finished last season with 35 wins, his third consecutive season with at least 30 victories in the regular season. Oettinger will face the Predators, who will start Scott Wedgewood, Oettinger's backup in Dallas last season.

Oettinger allowed four goals on 29 shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger allowed a couple of goals in the third period that allowed the Blues to build a 3-1 lead. The Stars rallied back, but Jordan Kyrou's tally at 1:43 of overtime sent Oettinger to his first loss of any type this preseason. The 25-year-old goalie will look to reclaim his status as one of the top netminders in the NHL after posting a 2.72 GAA and a .905 save percentage over 54 games in 2023-24. Even in a down year, he was able to collect 35 wins, and he should have no trouble in that area in 2024-25 as the Stars look to be one of the top teams in the league.

Oettinger is expected to start in Thursday's preseason game on the road against the Blues, Brian Rea of Bally Sports Southwest reports.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger is expected to play the full game Thursday, while Casey DeSmith will serve as the backup goaltender. Oettinger had a down year by his standards during the 2023-24 campaign, posting a 35-14-4 record, 2.72 GAA and .905 save percentage over 54 regular-season appearances, but he still enters this season as the Stars' clear No. 1 goaltender.

Oettinger is expected to start in Friday's preseason home game versus Colorado, per Brian Rea of Bally Sports Southwest.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger got the nod Wednesday and stopped 17 of 18 shots across two periods in Dallas' 5-2 victory over the Wild. He'll once again serve for two frames in Friday's action as he continues to get ready for his role as the Stars' No. 1 goaltender during the regular season ahead of projected backup Casey DeSmith. For the upcoming exhibition contest against Colorado, Ben Kraws is scheduled to step in for the third.

Oettinger is set to start in Wednesday's preseason home game against Minnesota, according to Mike Heika of the Stars' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger posted a 35-14-4 record, 2.72 GAA and .905 save percentage in 54 regular-season games with Dallas in 2023-24. As long as he stays healthy, Oettinger is a strong bet to reach the 30-win mark for the fourth consecutive campaign. Casey DeSmith is penciled in to replace Oettinger for the third period of Wednesday's action.

Oettinger gave up two goals on 10 shots in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 6.

EDGE Analysis

The Oilers struck twice on the power play in the first period and then bunkered down. That left Oettinger with little to do over the final 40 minutes, but the Stars couldn't make a comeback to give their goalie a chance to be a hero. Oettinger's postseason comes to a close with a 10-9 record, a 2.24 GAA and a .915 save percentage over 19 appearances. He'll head into 2024-25 as the Stars' No. 1 goalie while playing for a new contract.
