Oettinger stopped 32 of 34 shots Saturday in a 5-2 win over the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

It was yet another strong game for the young netminder. Mike Hoffman beat him at 15:35 of the first period when he drove the net and hammered home a rebound. That made the score 1-1. Then Arber Xhekaj went stick side on Oettinger with a wrister through traffic from the point at 15:58 of the second to cut the score to 3-2. Oettinger remains unbeaten at 4-0 and sports a sparkling 1.25 GAA and .959 save percentage.

Oettinger was the first goalie off the ice at Dallas' morning skate, Matthew DeFranks of The Dallas Morning News reports, indicating he will start Saturday's road game against Montreal.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger has begun the 2022-23 season with a 3-0-0 record. He has given up just one goal in each contest, stopping 84 shots along the way. Montreal has won two straight games going into Saturday's tilt, but a red-hot Oettinger could be a difficult challenge for the team's shooters.

Oettinger allowed a goal on 25 shots in Monday's 4-1 win over the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

For the third straight game, Oettinger limited the opponent to a single goal. The Stars' offense handled the rest as the 23-year-old cruised to his third win in as many starts. Oettinger is quickly establishing himself not only as the Stars' top goalie but as one of the best in the league. The Stars open a four-game road trip in Toronto on Thursday, which should be Oettinger's biggest test of the young season.

Oettinger yielded just one power-play goal Saturday as the Stars earned a 5-1 victory over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger, who looked sharp during his season-opening win, appears to be developing into an elite talent. The 23-year-old netminder has surrendered just one goal apiece in consecutive starts against Nashville. Oettinger, who stopped 31 of 32 shots to down the Predators on Thursday, turned in a 29-save performance Saturday. The 2017 first-round draft pick established himself as a starter last season, going 30-15-0-1 with a 2.53 GAA. This season, he could become a Vezina Trophy contender.

Oettinger will protect the home goal Saturday against the Predators, per Bruce LeVine of Dallas Hockey Now.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger was excellent in the season opener, stopping 31 of 32 shots in Dallas' Opening Night victory over the Predators on Thursday. He'll try to secure a second straight win in a rematch with the same Nashville squad Saturday.

Oettinger stopped 31 of 32 shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger was perfect until Ryan Johansen masterfully tipped a point shot from Eeli Tolvanen 4:53 into the third period. Oettinger has journeyman Scott Wedgewood, who doesn't exactly inspire confidence, behind him on the depth chart, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Otter make 55-plus starts as Dallas' No. 1 netminder this season. The 23-year-old American could be back between the pipes as soon as Saturday for a home rematch with Nashville.

Oettinger is expected to start Thursday against Nashville, per Matthew DeFranks of The Dallas Morning News.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger was the first goaltender off the ice following Thursday's morning skate, which is typically a good indicator of who the starter will be. He had a 30-15-1 record, 2.53 GAA, and .914 save percentage in 48 games in 2021-22. Now in his third NHL season, it wouldn't be surprising to see Oettinger start in more games in 2022-23 provided that he stays healthy.

Oettinger will get the nod in Saturday's preseason finale on the road against Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger may not play the full game and could split the match with Scott Wedgewood. The Stars will begin the regular season on the road versus Nashville on Thursday.

Oettinger will play the first two periods of Monday's home clash with Colorado, Matthew DeFranks of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger racked up 30 wins in 48 games last season along with a 2.53 GAA and .914 save percentage. The 23-year-old netminder managed to compile all those victories despite limited action and could add to those totals this year with a fuller schedule of games.
