Oettinger permitted two goals on 29 shots in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Rangers. The third goal was an empty-netter.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger took his fifth loss in his last eight outings, though this one wasn't his fault. The Rangers got to him twice in the first period after Roope Hintz opened the scoring, but the Stars failed to pull even over the final 40 minutes. Oettinger is down to 16-9-0 with a 2.42 GAA and a .910 save percentage through 25 appearances. The Stars' last game before the holiday break is on the road Monday against a red-hot Utah team, so Oettinger may be a bit of a risky fantasy play for that matchup.

Oettinger will be between the pipes for Friday's home game against the Rangers, Brien Rea of FanDuel Sports Network Southwest reports.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger will jump right back into the crease after getting the hook against the Leafs on Wednesday. The matchup Friday will be the netminder's eighth straight appearance, and he's posted a 3-4-0 record and 2.57 GAA in his last seven outings. While Oettinger hasn't been his usual dominant self, he clearly is going to be given time to work through any issues, leaving Casey DeSmith to feature primarily during back-to-backs.

Oettinger allowed four goals on 12 shots before being replaced by Casey DeSmith to begin the third period of Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

It was a rough way for the goalie to celebrate his 26th birthday, as he got beaten more than three times for the first time since Nov. 25. Oettinger may simply need a breather -- he's started eight of Dallas' first nine games in December, going 4-4-0 with a 2.36 GAA and .901 save percentage.

Oettinger is set to start at home against Toronto on Wednesday, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger has won his past two starts while stopping 40 of 42 shots. He's 16-7-0 with a 2.32 GAA and a .913 save percentage in 23 appearances this campaign. Oettinger will be seeking his first career victory against the Maple Leafs -- he's 0-2-0 with a 3.07 GAA and a .910 save percentage across two regular-season outings versus Toronto.

Oettinger stopped 25 shots in Monday's 3-1 win over the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Dylan Strome tipped home a Jakob Chychrun point shot late in the first period, but Oettinger shut the door the rest of the way. The 25-year-old netminder has allowed three goals or less in eight straight starts, posting a 2.14 GAA and a .916 save percentage over that stretch, and he's up to 16 wins on the season -- second in the NHL behind only Connor Hellebuyck's 19.

Oettinger will get the starting nod at home versus the Capitals on Monday, Brien Rea of FanDuel Sports Network Southwest reports.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger will make his sixth straight appearance between the pipes for Dallas, having posted a 2-3-0 record, 2.42 GAA and .897 save percentage in his last five outings. While the backstop has secured 15 wins in 22 starts, he still trails Winnipeg's Connor Hellebuyck for the NHL lead (19). If Oettinger continues to play at this level, he should be in the mix for Vezina Trophy consideration.

Oettinger made 15 saves in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Jordan Kyrou got a puck past Oettinger midway through the first period just after a St. Louis power play had expired, but the netminder was mostly untroubled the rest of the way -- the Blues only managed nine shots on net in total over the final two frames of regulation, and none in OT. Oettinger has allowed three goals or less in seven straight starts, going 4-3-0 over that stretch with a 2.30 GAA and .909 save percentage.

Oettinger will get the starting nod versus St. Louis on Saturday, per Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine.

EDGE Analysis

Oettinger is an underwhelming 1-3-0 over his last four starts, allowing 11 goals on 101 shots (.891 save percentage). Overall, the talented Oettinger is 14-7-0 with a 2.46 GAA and a .911 save percentage. The Blues are averaging 2.63 goals per game in 2024-25.

Oettinger stopped 22 of 25 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Predators, with Nashville's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

EDGE Analysis

Dallas out-shot the visitors 36-25 on the night, but Stars skaters had trouble solving Justus Annunen in the other crease, while Oettinger gave up all three of his goals in a three-minute stretch during the second period. The 25-year-old netminder has dropped three of his last four decisions, but he's gone six straight starts without allowing more than three tallies, posting a 2.54 GAA and .906 save percentage over the latter stretch.

Oettinger will patrol the home crease versus Nashville on Thursday, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.

EDGE Analysis
