Oettinger was the first goalie to leave the ice Monday, Matthew DeFranks of The Dallas Morning News reports, indicating he'll patrol the crease at home versus Colorado.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger will make his sixth straight start since returning from a lower-body injury. In those prior five tilts, the 23-year-old netminder went 2-1-1 with a 3.39 GAA and .896 save percentage. The Minnesota native has struggled with consistency of late and will look to rediscover his strong form from the start of the season.

Oettinger made 27 saves in a 5-2 win over the Islanders on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

He was beaten twice by Mathew Barzal, who scored his first goals of the season Saturday. Oettinger continues to deliver outstanding performances for the Stars and is 7-2-1 with a 2.21 GAA and .927 save percentage on the season.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger started the season with four straight wins, giving up five goals on 121 shots, but he has struggled somewhat since then. Overall, Oettinger is 6-2-1 with a 2.23 GAA and a .927 save percentage. He will take on the Islanders, who have scored 61 goals in 18 games this season.

Oettinger stopped 19 of 21 shots after replacing Scott Wedgewood (upper body) late in the second period of Thursday's 6-4 win over the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

The Stars were already ahead 5-2 when Wedgewood exited the game, so the win goes to him, but Oettinger was solid as Florida tried to mount a late comeback. The 23-year-old would see an even heavier workload if Wedgewood is forced to miss a significant amount of time, but Oettinger should be up to the task given his 2.23 GAA and .927 save percentage on the season.

Oettinger made 33 saves in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Neither team ever gained more than a one-goal advantage during the game, but Tampa Bay took the final lead with just over a minute left in OT, as Oettinger couldn't handle an Alex Killorn shot from the faceoff circle. It's the second time in three starts Oettinger has coughed up five goals since he returned from a lower-body injury, but on the season he still sports a sparkling 6-2-1 record, 2.12 GAA and .929 save percentage.

Oettinger will defend the road net Tuesday against Tampa Bay, Matthew DeFranks of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

A Travis Konecny goal early in the second period denied Oettinger his second shutout of the season, but otherwise the third-year netminder appeared to be back in form in his second start following his return from a lower-body injury. Oettinger will take a 1.80 GAA and .938 save percentage into his next outing.

Oettinger gave up five goals on 18 shots in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger was out for just under two weeks with a lower-body injury. He wasn't very good in his first game back, though the Stars' inability to match the Sharks' intensity early in the second and third periods led to three of the goals. While this was easily his worst game of the year, it may just take time for Oettinger to shake off the rust. He's now 5-2-0 with a 1.90 GAA and a .931 save percentage in eight starts this year. The Stars begin a three-game road trip in Philadelphia on Sunday.

Oettinger (lower body) is expected to start at home against San Jose on Friday, per Matthew DeFranks of The Dallas Morning News.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger hasn't played since Oct. 29 due to the injury. Before getting hurt, he was having a great season with a 5-1-0 record, 1.40 GAA and .952 save percentage in seven games. The Sharks have the 31st-ranked offense at 2.60 goals per game, but they have scored 22 goals over their last six games, so their forwards shouldn't be underestimated.
