Hangs on for OT win Oettinger stopped 24 shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Capitals.

Impact Dallas grabbed a 4-2 lead early in the third period, but Oettinger couldn't make it hold up as Washington scored two goals in the final two minutes with an extra skater on the ice -- the first on a power play, the second with the net empty. Thomas Harley beat Charlie Lindgren in OT to salvage the victory, however. Oettinger has won three straight starts and five of seven since returning from a lower-body injury in mid-January, but his 3.35 GAA and .898 save percentage over that stretch are well below his usual standards.

Starting vs. Washington Oettinger will guard the home net Saturday against the Capitals, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.

Impact Oettinger has won his last two outings despite a mediocre .873 save percentage in that span. Overall, the 25-year-old netminder is 15-9-2 with a .902 save percentage and 3.01 GAA this season. Oettinger will face a Capitals team that's lost three straight contests while averaging just 2.35 goals per game this season, the third-lowest mark in the league.

Hangs on for OT win Oettinger allowed three goals on 21 shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime victory over Anaheim.

However, the Stars rallied for the win in overtime, handing Oettinger a second straight victory. The 25-year-old netminder is now 4-2-0 with a .904 save percentage since returning from a 12-game stint on injured reserve. Overall, Oettinger is 15-9-2 with a .902 save percentage and 3.01 GAA this season. Dallas is back in action Saturday at home versus the Capitals.

Starting against Anaheim Oettinger will guard the home goal versus the Ducks on Thursday, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Oettinger wasn't great in his last start Tuesday against the Red Wings, surrendering four goals on 34 shots, but he still came away with a win thanks to strong goal support from his teammates. He'll try to secure his 15th victory of the season in a favorable home matchup with an Anaheim squad that's averaging only 2.73 goals per game on the road this year, 27th in the NHL.

Hangs on for win Tuesday Oettinger made 30 saves in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Red Wings.

Impact The 25-year-old netminder took a 5-2 lead into the third period but had to weather a furious comeback attempt by Detroit. While Oettinger's numbers on the night don't seem impressive, three of the four pucks that beat him came on Wings power plays. Since returning from a lower-body injury Jan. 12, Oettinger has gone 3-2-0 in five outings with a 3.34 GAA and .910 save percentage.

Tending twine Tuesday Oettinger (illness) will guard the road goal against Detroit on Tuesday, per Mike Heika of the Stars' official site.

Impact Oettinger wasn't an option to start in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Islanders because of an illness. Still, he was able to dress as Scott Wedgewood's backup in the matchup. Oettinger has a 13-9-2 record this season with a 2.96 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 25 games played. Detroit sits sixth in the league this campaign with 3.48 goals per contest.

JANUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with illness Oettinger didn't start Sunday against the Islanders due to an illness, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

Impact Oettinger was healthy enough to serve as the backup behind Scott Wedgewood on Sunday, so it doesn't sound like he's in danger of missing any additional time. Oettinger is 2-2-0 with a .917 save percentage since returning from a 12-game absence earlier this month.

JANUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Falls to Flyers Oettinger stopped 38 shots in Thursday's 5-1 loss to Philadelphia.

Impact Seeing action in his fourth straight game since returning a lower-body injury, Oettinger kept things close until the Flyers pulled away in the third period by scoring on a power play and a penalty shot. The 25-year-old netminder has allowed 11 goals on 132 shots (.917 save percentage) since rejoining the lineup, and as long as he stays healthy he should be locked into the top job in the Stars' crease.

Between pipes versus Flyers Oettinger will tend the twine for Thursday's road clash with Philadelphia, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

Impact After a rough first outing back from a lower-body injury, Oettinger has rediscovered his game, securing wins in back-to-back games while posting a combined 1.32 GAA and .962 save percentage. Even with Scott Wedgewood (lower body) healthy, Oettinger figures to see the bulk of the workload moving forward, making him a top-end fantasy target.

JANUARY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Allows one goal in win Oettinger stopped 31 of 32 shots in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Kings.

Impact Oettinger was easily the better of the two goalies on the night, finishing with the first star of the game. He allowed a power-play goal against a Drew Doughty slap shot early in the second period but that was all for the Kings - Oettinger stopped the remaining 25 shots fired at him. The 25-year old netminder has been hot in his last two games, posting a save percentage above .950 in both contests.

Guarding goal Tuesday Oettinger will patrol the home crease Tuesday against the Kings, Saad Yousuf of The Athletic reports.

Impact Oettinger is coming off a 20-save performance in Saturday's 3-1 win over Chicago. In 23 appearances this season, he has earned a 12-8-2 record with a 2.96 GAA and a .902 save percentage. The Kings sit ninth in the league with 3.33 goals per contest this campaign.

JANUARY 17 • ROTOWIRE

Helps lift Stars over Blackhawks Oettinger stopped 20 of 21 shots in relief in a 3-1 victory over Chicago on Saturday.

Impact Oettinger entered the game midway through the second period because Scott Wedgewood sustained a lower-body injury. The contest was locked in a scoreless tie when Oettinger entered, so he was credited with the win, bringing him up to 12-8-2 with a 2.96 GAA and a .902 save percentage in 23 appearances this season. The 25-year-old missed 12 straight games from Dec. 16-Jan. 10 because of a lower-body injury, but now that he's back, Oettinger will likely receive the bulk of Dallas' starts. He'll be leaned on even more if Wedgewood misses significant time due to his injury.

JANUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Gives up four goals in return Oettinger allowed four goals on 36 shots in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Predators. The last two goals were empty-netters.

Impact Oettinger played a solid first period, but the Predators started to take control in the second. This was Oettinger's first action since Dec. 15 when he suffered a lower-body injury. He dropped to 11-8-2 with a 2.99 GAA and a .901 save percentage through 22 outings this season. Oettinger should retake the No. 1 job in goal soon, though Scott Wedgewood is likely to start Saturday in Chicago for the second half of the back-to-back.

Guarding cage Friday Oettinger will get the starting nod at home against Nashville on Friday, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.

Impact Oettinger will return from a 12-game absence Friday and is suiting up for the first time since Dec. 15. Prior to the injury, he was in a bit of a rut; over his last 10 appearances, Oettinger is 3-5-1 with a 3.75 GAA and an .870 save percentage. He's 11-7-2 with a 2.93 GAA in 21 games this season.

JANUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Good to dress Friday Oettinger (lower body) is expected to dress for Friday's home game against Nashville.

Impact It's not clear if Oettinger will get the start, but it sounds like he's at least going to serve as the backup. The 25-year-old was last in net Dec. 15. He has an 11-7-2 record, 2.93 GAA and .901 save percentage in 21 outings this year. Although the goaltender might not start Friday, the Stars are likely to start leaning on him heavily now that Oettinger has recovered, which will eat into Scott Wedgewood's playing time.

JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Closing in on return Oettinger (lower body) is a "possibility" for Friday's game versus the Predators, coach Pete DeBoer told Brian Rea of Bally Sports Southwest on Thursday.

Impact Although coach Pete DeBoer has labeled Oettinger a "possibility" against Nashville, there's evidently "still a lot to be discussed internally" in regards to how the Stars will proceed with the 25-year-old netminder, so he should still be considered a major question mark for Friday's contest. Oettinger's gone 11-7-2 while posting a 2.93 GAA and a .901 save percentage through 21 appearances this year.

JANUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Not expected to play Wednesday Oettinger (lower body) isn't expected to return for Wednesday's home contest against Minnesota, per Stars' radio analyst Bruce LeVine.

Impact Oettinger, who hasn't been in the lineup since Dec. 15, wants to participate in a full practice before returning, which hasn't happened yet. Dallas recalled Matt Murray from AHL Texas on Wednesday in anticipation of Oettinger not being an option. The injured goaltender's next opportunity to play is Friday's home game versus Nashville.

JANUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Still unavailable Oettinger (lower body) won't be in the lineup Saturday against Nashville, according to Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News.

Impact Oettinger, who was upgraded to day-to-day by coach Peter DeBoer on Wednesday, will miss his 10th consecutive contest. His next chance to play will be Monday against Minnesota. Scott Wedgewood, who will get the nod Saturday versus the Predators, has been starting regularly during Oettinger's absence.

JANUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Closing in on return Oettinger's (lower body) timetable has been upgraded from "week-to-week" to "day-to-day," coach Peter DeBoer told Saad Yousuf of The Athletic on Wednesday.

Impact Oettinger participated in Wednesday's optional skate. The 25-year-old goaltender hasn't played since Dec. 15, but it sounds like it won't be long before he makes his return. When Oettinger is available, Scott Wedgewood will slide back into the No. 2 role while Matt Murray will return to AHL Texas.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Still unavailable Oettinger (lower body) resumed skating but will remain sidelined Saturday, Stars' radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.

Impact Oettinger is "probably further away than his is closer", according to coach Pete DeBoer, meaning Scott Wedgewood will continue to serve as Dallas' primary goaltender for the time being. The 25-year-old Oettinger has already missed the Stars' last six games. He's 11-7-2 with a .901 save percentage on the year.

DECEMBER 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Remains sidelined Oettinger (lower body) won't be available for Friday's game versus Chicago, Dallas Stars Radio Host Owen Newkirk reports.

Impact Oettinger, who will miss a sixth straight contest Friday, remains week-to-week with his lower-body issue. Scott Wedgewood will likely continue to operate as a workhorse in goal for the Stars until Oettinger is ready to return.

DECEMBER 21, 2023 • YOUTUBE

Deemed week-to-week Oettinger (lower body) is considered week-to-week, per Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News.

Impact Head coach Pete DeBoer said Monday that Oettinger's test results revealed that the 25-year-old netminder isn't expected to be dealing with a long-term injury. Still, it's a tough situation for the Stars and for Oettinger's fantasy managers to have him unavailable for next little while. Scott Wedgewood, who should see the bulk of the starts in Oettinger's absence, will be backed up by Matt Murray in Monday's contest against Seattle.
