Oettinger (lower body) will not travel with the team to St. Louis on Saturday, Brian Rea of Bally Sports Southwest reports.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger was injured during the first period of Friday's game against Ottawa and will miss at least one game as a result. He'll stay back in Dallas to undergo additional testing over the weekend. Scott Wedgewood will likely get the starting nod Saturday after stopping 25 of 27 shots in relief Friday. Dallas will be back home Monday to face the Kraken.

Oettinger (lower body) will not return to Friday's game against Ottawa.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger was injured just before the halfway mark of the first period. He was tagged with two goals and failed to make a save prior to exiting the contest. An update on his status should be available before Saturday's tilt with the Blues. Scott Wedgewood replaced Oettinger in goal Friday.

Oettinger will tend the twine at home against Ottawa on Friday, Stars' radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger has started 14 of the team's last 18 contests and has been playing approximately every three of the team's four outings, with Scott Wedgewood featuring in the other four games. With the Stars heading into a back-to-back, Oettinger will take the first game Friday, so fantasy players can expect Wedgewod to start against St. Louis on Saturday. For his part, Oettinger has struggled in those 14 appearances, posting a 6-7-1 record to go with a 3.26 GAA.

Oettinger stopped 27 of 30 shots in Monday's 6-3 win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger snapped a three-game losing streak with this performance. He allowed a goal in each period, but the Stars scored twice in every frame to give their goalie ample help. The 24-year-old netminder is up to 11-7-2 with a 2.85 GAA and a .904 save percentage through 20 starts this season. The Stars' next two games are in a back-to-back -- they host the Senators on Friday before visiting the Blues on Sunday. That two-game set should allow both Oettinger and Scott Wedgewood to each make a start.

Oettinger will patrol the home crease Monday against Detroit, per Brian Rea of Bally Sports Southwest.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger has allowed 15 goals on 81 shots during his three-game losing skid. In 19 games this season, he has posted a 10-7-2 record with a 2.84 GAA and a .905 save percentage. Detroit sits second in the league this campaign with 3.73 goals per contest.

Oettinger stopped 21 of 27 shots Saturday in a 6-1 loss to Vegas.

EDGE Analysis

The Golden Knights were dominant and the Stars were far from it despite being on home ice. Oettinger has lost three consecutive games and has allowed 15 goals in that span. Those losses were to three strong teams (Lightning, Panthers and Golden Knights), but Oettinger needs to be better and so do his teammates if they intend to compete for the sliver chalice at the end of the season. The Stars next line up Monday against the Red Wings. Scott Wedgewood could be in the net that night to give Oettinger some time to regroup.

Oettinger will defend the home cage versus Vegas on Saturday, Stars' radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger has been mediocre in his last two starts, giving up nine goals on only 54 shots in losses to Florida and Tampa Bay. Overall, he has been very good this season, going 10-6-2 with a 2.67 GAA and .911 save percentage. Vegas leads the NHL with 39 points and have averaged 3.19 goals per game.

Oettinger allowed five goals on 31 shots in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

It was a tough night for Oettinger, who surrendered a pair of goals in both the first and third periods en route to the 5-4 loss. The 24-year-old netminder has now dropped back-to-back starts, allowing nine goals on 54 shots in that span. Oettinger is now 10-6-2 with a .911 save percentage on the season. Scott Wedgewood will likely get the start Thursday in the second leg of a back-to-back, lining up Oettinger's next start for Saturday at home versus the Golden Knights.

Oettinger is expected to guard the road goal against Florida on Thursday, per Mike Heika of the Stars' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger will attempt to rebound after allowing four goals on 23 shots in a 4-0 loss to Tampa Bay on Monday. He's 10-5-2 with a 2.53 GAA and a .915 save percentage in 17 contests this campaign. The Panthers rank 20th this year with 3.00 goals per game.

Oettinger turned aside 19 of 23 shots in a 4-0 loss to Tampa Bay on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger has been mostly good this season, but there have been blemishes with this being the third time he's allowed at least four goals in a contest. To be fair, Dallas didn't give him any offensive support, making it wrong to pin the defeat solely on him. Oettinger still has a 10-5-2 record, 2.53 GAA and .915 save percentage in 17 appearances this year, so it would be best just to accept the loss and move on. For what it's worth, after surrendering six goals to Calgary on Nov. 24, he responded with a 27-save shutout versus the Jets in his very next start, so this one rough outing isn't necessarily a sign of bad things to come.
