Oettinger stopped 34 of 37 shots in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger put in a solid performance in this contest, doing just enough to help the Stars to the win. The 26-year-old netminder had lost his last three outings (two in the NHL, one for Team USA at the 4 Nations Face-Off), so this should help his confidence as the Stars prepare for the stretch run. Overall, he's at a 27-12-2 record with a 2.37 GAA and a .912 save percentage over 41 starts this season. He's been one of the best goalies in the league, especially among those seeing heavy workloads -- his 2.37 GAA is fourth among all goalies with at least 35 appearances in 2024-25. The Stars' road trip concludes with a stop in Columbus on Tuesday.

Oettinger will defend the road net against the Islanders on Sunday, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger allowed both goals in the first period; both were almost thread-the-needle perfect to beat the Dallas star. The first came on a fantastic Gustav Nyquist deflection as he drove to the net that changed the direction of the puck enough to eek through Oettinger and into the net. The second was a Jesper Bratt wheel-and-whip shot through traffic that went shelf over the netminder's glove. Oettinger will be back on the end of the bench Thursday as Connor Hellebuyck takes the blue paint in the championship game against Canada.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger's three-game winning streak was snapped in the low-scoring contest despite him allowing fewer goals versus the Ducks than he did in any of those victories. The 26-year-old should be just fine in the long run -- games like this will happen to even the best goalies on occasion. He's now at a 26-12-1 record with a 2.31 GAA and a .912 save percentage through 39 appearances this season.
