Oettinger made 30 saves Saturday in a 3-2 victory over the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

He gave up two in the first -- a rebound to Riley Sheahan and a tip to Yanni Gourde. But then Oettinger nailed the doors shut and his teammates roared back to earn the win. He's 3-2-0 in his last five starts, but his wins have all come against non-playoff teams (Hawks, Sharks and Kraken). The Stars are four points up on the Golden Knights for the last Wild Card, so Oettinger needs to build on this strong performance to ensure a playoff berth.

Oettinger will guard the home goal Saturday versus the Kraken, Bruce LeVine of Dallas Stars Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger has allowed seven goals on 55 shots across his last two starts, both losses. The Stars' playoff positioning has weakened in that stretch -- they're still the second wild card, but the Golden Knights are close behind. Oettinger is likely to start frequently in the last week of the regular season, and Saturday's game is a favorable matchup, as the Kraken are on the second half of a road back-to-back.

Oettinger stopped 33 of 36 shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger did well to keep this game close, but the Stars were unable to grab a lead. The 23-year-old took his third loss in his last five games, dropping to 27-15-1 on the season. He's posted a 2.57 GAA and a .913 save percentage in 45 appearances, and he should continue to start regularly with the Stars battling for a playoff spot. They're done with road games for the regular season -- next up is a home date with the Kraken on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger struggled in his last appearance Monday against the Canucks, surrendering four goals on just 19 shots before being replaced by Scott Wedgewood in the second period of the eventual 6-2 loss. He'll try to shake off that poor performance and return to the win column in a road matchup with a Calgary team that's averaging 3.72 goals per game at home this season, sixth in the NHL.

Oettinger allowed four goals on 19 shots in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger was replaced by Scott Wedgewood midway through the second period, but the Stars couldn't mount a comeback. It's been a tough run for Oettinger lately, as he's allowed 52 goals in his last 18 games, going 10-8-0 in that span. The 23-year-old is at 27-14-1 with a 2.56 GAA and a .913 save percentage -- he's faded from his hot start to the season. The Stars finish their road trip with a back-to-back in Edmonton on Wednesday and Calgary on Thursday, so Oettinger and Wedgewood are likely to split that tough pair of matchups.

Oettinger was the first goalie to exit the ice at Monday's morning skate, Kevin Woodley of NHL.com reports, indicating he'll tend the twine versus Vancouver on the road.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger had given up two or more goals in 17 straight games before Saturday's clash with the Sharks in which he conceded just one goal on 24 shots. With the Stars clinging to a postseason spot, the team will likely continue to ride the hot hand regardless of whether it's Oettinger or Scott Wedgewood. A similar situation could develop heading into the playoffs, though Oettinger would likely have the inside track to be named the Game 1 starter.

Oettinger made 23 saves in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

The struggling Sharks offense failed to muster many chances against the stout Dallas defense, as the Stars picked up an important two points in the standings while handing San Jose its ninth consecutive loss. Fantasy managers who wisely deployed Oettinger in this favorable matchup were rewarded with a strong performance from the 23-year-old netminder at a pivotal time in the fantasy hockey season.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger was decent in his last start Sunday against the Blackhawks, stopping 36 of 40 shots en route to a 6-4 win. He'll try to pick up his 27th victory of the year in a home matchup with a San Jose squad that's 13-17-6 on the road this season.

Oettinger allowed four goals on 40 shots in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger started both halves of the Stars' back-to-back this weekend, and he was able to split the results after a tough loss Saturday to the Devils. Sunday's effort wasn't a pretty one -- it was the first time Oettinger's allowed more than three goals since March 12. The 23-year-old netminder improved to 26-13-1 with a 2.53 GAA and a .914 save percentage in 42 contests this season. The Stars' next two games are tough ones, as they host the Lightning on Tuesday and the Wild on Thursday, but Oettinger will likely continue to see a majority of the starts.

Oettinger will get the starting nod Sunday in Chicago, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger has allowed three or fewer goals in 11 straight outings, posting a .906 save percentage during that stretch. The 23-year-old is sporting a 2.49 GAA and a .915 save percentage alongside a 25-13-1 record. He's been even better on the road, registering an impressive .930 save percentage in 17 games.
