Oettinger will defend the home net in Sunday's game against the Blackhawks, Matthew DeFranks of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

According to Bruce LeVine of Dallas Stars Radio, Anton Khudobin has been benched for disciplinary reasons. It's unclear how long the punishment will last, but Oettinger figures to be the No. 1 goaltender until Khudobin returns to action, while Landon Bow serves as the backup. Oettinger made his NHL debut this season, and he's 2-0-0 with an .898 save percentage through three appearances.

Oettinger made 23 stops in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

The 22-year-old picked up his second NHL win in as many starts thanks to plenty of support from the Dallas offense, spoiling Patrik Laine's Columbus debut in the process. Oettinger hasn't exactly impressed with an .898 save percentage in his limited action so far, but he'll continue to serve as the Stars' No. 2 netminder until Ben Bishop (knee) is ready to return.

Oettinger will defend the cage against the Jackets on the road Tuesday, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

In his two appearances this season, including one relief outing, Oettinger has performed well with a 2.02 GAA and .909 save percentage. While the 22-year-old Minnesota native won't be replacing Anton Khudobin as the No. 1 option in Big D, he has played well enough to earn a few extra looks outside of back-to-backs, including Tuesday's contest.

Oettinger turned aside all 10 shots he faced after replacing Anton Khudobin midway through the second period of Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Khudobin didn't play badly, but with the Stars in a 4-0 hole, coach Rick Bowness had little choice but to try and light a spark with a switch in net. Oettinger now has a .909 save percentage in his limited action to begin the season, but he could be poised to make his second NHL start Sunday in a rematch with Carolina.

Oettinger made 20 saves in his NHL debut, a 7-3 win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger, a 2017 first-round pick out of Boston University, was locked in a one-goal game in the third period until the Stars pulled away with three unanswered goals in the final 5:08. The 22-year-old was giving No. 1 starter Anton Khudobin a night off and is locked into the backup role while veteran Ben Bishop (knee) makes his way back.

Per Bruce LeVine of Dallas Stars Radio, Oettinger was the first goalie off the ice at morning skate, indicating he'll be between the pipes for Thursday's home game versus Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger will be making his NHL debut Thursday. The 22-year-old backstop was solid as AHL Texas' starter in 2019-20, maintaining a 2.57 GAA and a .917 save percentage through 38 appearances. He'll attempt to pick up his first NHL win in a home matchup with a Red Wings club that's averaging just 1.86 goals per game this campaign, 29th in the NHL.

Oettinger stopped the only three shots he faced in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to Tampa Bay in Game 3.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger relieved Dallas starter Anton Khudobin to start the third period with the Stars trailing 5-1. It was the second relief appearance of the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the 21-year-old product of Boston University, who has stopped eight of eight shots in his limited playing time. He'll be back in the No. 2 role behind Khudobin for Game 4 on Friday.

Oettinger stopped all five shots he faced in Tuesday's 3-0 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 2.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger relieved Anton Khudobin at the start of the third period. The Golden Knights took it easy on the rookie Oettinger, as he was rarely tested in first 17:09 of his NHL career. It's expected that the 20-year-old Oettinger will remain the primary backup to Khudobin until Ben Bishop (undisclosed) is able to rejoin the lineup.

Oettinger is in the lineup and backing up Anton Khudobin in Game 2 against Vegas on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger has yet to suit up in an NHL contest, so this is more of an FYI for poolies who might be rolling out Dallas netminders in the fantasy arena during the playoffs. With usual No. 1 Ben Bishop still being deemed unfit to play, Oettinger figures to slot in as the No. 2 behind Khudobin for the immediate future.

Oettinger was reassigned to AHL Texas on Wednesday, Sean Shapiro of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger was up with the Stars on an emergency recall due to Ben Bishop's lower-body injury. The demotion of Oettinger would seem to indicate that Bishop will at least be healthy enough to serve as the backup for Thursday's matchup with Nashville.
