Oettinger was recalled by the Stars on Saturday, Matthew DeFranks of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Braden Holtby is day-to-day with a minor lower-body injury, so Oettinger will join Dallas' roster to serve as Anton Khudobin's backup Saturday versus Philadelphia. Oettinger will likely return to the minors as soon as Holtby is cleared to play.

Oettinger will be assigned to AHL Texas, Matthew DeFranks of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Many believed Oettinger would come out of camp as the Stars' No. 1 or No. 2 netminder after going 11-8-7 while posting a 2.36 GAA and a .911 save percentage in 29 NHL appearances last season, but he'll instead start the campaign in the minors. Nonetheless, Oettinger is clearly NHL ready, so it might not be long before he's called up to the big club. With Oettinger no longer in the picture, Anton Khudobin and Braden Holtby will enter the regular season as Dallas' top two netminders.

Oettinger will draw the start in Sunday's preseason game against Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger will make his third preseason appearance as he looks to secure the No. 1 netminder job with the Stars. He's given up four goals on 41 shots in two appearances to date.

Oettinger will get the starting nod at home against the Panthers on Wednesday and is expected to play the whole game, Matthew DeFranks of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger saw action in 29 games for the Stars last season in which he posted an 11-8-7 record with one shutout and a 2.36 GAA. The 22-year-old netminder will be in the mix for the starting job heading into Opening Night against the Rangers on Oct. 14 alongside Anton Khudobin and Braden Holtby.

Oettinger stopped 19 of 23 shots in Monday's 5-4 overtime win against Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

Things got off to a rocky start for the rookie, who found himself trailing 2-0 before the game was even 90 seconds old, but the Stars eventually came all the way back to make Oettinger a winner in the season finale. The 22-year-old product of Boston University went 11-8-7 with a 2.36 GAA and .911 save percentage.

Oettinger will patrol the crease for Monday's game in Chicago, Matthew DeFranks of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger gave up four goals in his last outing for the first time since March 13. The rookie netminder owns a 2.30 GAA and a .914 save percentage in 28 appearances on the year. He's gone 0-1-2 against Chicago this season despite allowing just seven goals on 99 shots in four games.

Oettinger set aside 14 of 18 shots in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger struggled and a pair of Lightning empty-netters made the final score look even uglier. Rather than step up as they battle for the Central Division's final playoff spot, the Stars have scuffled down the stretch, and Oettinger has been no exception. The rookie's just 1-3-1 in his last five starts and has posted a sub-.800 save percentage in two of those losses.

Oettinger will defend the blue paint during Wednesday's road game versus the Lightning, Bruce LeVine of Dallas Stars Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger was pretty solid in his last start Thursday against Tampa Bay, stopping 25 of 27 shots, but he ultimately suffered his 14th defeat of the season due to a complete lack of goal support from his teammates. The 22-year-old rookie netminder will attempt to snap his personal two-game losing streak in a rematch with the same Lightning squad Wednesday.

Oettinger was pressed into relief duty Monday, saving 27 of 28 shots in a 5-4 overtime loss to the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

The Stars sparked a two-goal rally in the third period to force overtime, and the Panthers ultimately prevailed thanks to a converted power-play opportunity in overtime. Oettinger was hunkered down in the crease when Panthers captain Aleksander Barkov blasted a one-timer top shelf. This was still a high-quality performance from Oettinger, who replaced a struggling Anton Khudobin Monday, and the rookie effectively improved his ratios with the American backstop now looking at a 2.23 GAA and .918 save percentage through 27 games.

Oettinger made 25 saves in a 3-0 loss to the Lightning on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

He allowed two goals. And the other two, Oettinger had little chance. Goal one came when his defender coughed up the puck in the high slot and Ondrej Palat jumped on it. The second was a penalty shot by Blake Coleman, who was tripped after he stole the puck while shorthanded and took off on a breakaway. Oettinger is 4-1-0 in his last five games with just nine goals allowed in that span.
