Oettinger allowed a single goal on 28 shots in the Stars' 5-1 win over the Maple Leafs last Sunday. Oettinger has been absolutely terrific in December, going 5-2-0 with a 1.86 GAA, .933 SV% and one shutout. He's an obvious must-start on Saturday as the Stars host a banged-up Blackhawks team as massive home favourites. Oettinger has the highest implied win% (75.8%) and lowest implied goals against (2.0) on the 13-game slate.
Oettinger has lost two straight contests (0-2-0), allowing six goals on 52 combined shots (.885 SV%), and will return to the crease on Thursday against the San Jose Sharks. He has a 2.54 GAA and .907 SV% in 22 games this season (14-6-2). The American goalie is celebrating his 27th birthday on Thursday and hopes to do so with a win against a Sharks team he helped defeat 4-1 two weeks ago. The Stars enter the game as sizable -193 road favorites.

The red-hot Stars, 9-0-2 in their last 11, will turn to Oettinger on Thursday in a meeting against his hometown team, the Minnesota Wild. Oettinger was the second star in the NHL last week and has been picking up momentum after a mediocre start to the season. The 26-year-old American goalie has a 1.85 GAA and .934 SV% in his last six games (6-0-0). The Stars enter Thursday's contest against a Wild team that has been amongst the NHL's best over the last month but has suddenly lost three of its last five (2-2-1).
The Stars have been among the hottest teams in the league, going 15-2-5 in their last 22 games, all without needing Oettinger to be spectacular. That said, the 26-year-old Oettinger is coming off his second shutout of the season, a 30-save performance in a 3-0 win over the New Jersey Devils. He has a 2.60 GAA and .906 SV% in 18 games this season (12-4-2). The Stars enter Friday's contest as significant -276 home favorites against a San Jose Sharks team coming off an embarrassing 7-1 loss to the Washington Capitals.
Oettinger was expected to start last night, but was under the weather, leaving the crease to Casey DeSmith in a 3-2 overtime loss to the New York Rangers. That said, Oettinger returns to the crease on Wednesday in the tail end of a back-to-back against the New Jersey Devils. The 26-year-old Oettinger has a 2.76 GAA and .900 SV% in 17 games (11-4-2) and has yet to consistently string together elite performances this season. The Stars enter Wednesday's contest as slight +102 road underdogs against a Devils team that has gone 4-5-0 since Jack Hughes’ injury (hand).
Oettinger is battling an illness, but will still serve as the backup to Casey DeSmith on Tuesday against the New York Rangers. The 27-year-old Oettinger could be ready to return to the crease tomorrow against the New Jersey Devils.
After a mediocre 3-3-0 start to the 2025-26 season, the Stars have switched gears and become one of the top teams in the NHL, going 12-2-4 in 18 games since. That said, the Stars still hope Oettinger can up his game to another level. The 26-year-old netminder has a 2.74 GAA and .900 SV% in 16 games this season (10-4-2). The Stars enter Friday’s contest as -130 home favorites against a Utah Mammoth team that is 3-4-3 in its last 10 games.
Oettinger faced highly publicised criticism after losing to the Edmonton Oilers in consecutive Western Conference finals, and should be fired up to face them for the first time since. The 26-year-old Oettinger was outstanding in his most recent game, saving 34 of 36 shots (.944 SV%) in a 4-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks. He has a 2.72 GAA and .902 SV% in 15 games this season (9-4-2). The Stars, without Mikko Rantanen (suspended), enter Tuesday's contest as +120 road underdogs against an Oilers team that has lost three of their last four (1-2-1).
Oettinger mishandled a puck that directly resulted in a goal in his most recent game, a 3-2 loss to the New York Islanders, and hopes to rebound on Thursday against the Vancouver Canucks. The 26-year-old Oettinger has been inconsistent this season, posting a 2.77 GAA and .898 SV% in 14 games (8-4-2). The Stars have points in 12 of their last 14 (9-2-3) and enter Thursday's contest as -141 road favorites against a Canucks team that has scored 25 goals (4.17 GF/GP) in their last six games (2-2-2).
