Oettinger will go for his fourth-straight win Saturday after winning his last game vs. Arizona where he stopped 23 of 26 shots (.885 SV%). The 24-year-old has been one of the NHL's best goaltenders yet again in 2023-24, with his impressive 8-2-1 record, .926 SV%, and 2.26 GAA. He gets to take on the Colorado Avalanche, who have won two-straight and are fifth in the NHL in goals per game (3.67).
After losing back-to-back games for the first time this season, Oettinger has rebounded nicely, saving 50 of 55 shots (.909 SV%) in his two games since (2-0-0). Oettinger will look to extend his winning streak on Tuesday as the Stars' starter against the Arizona Coyotes. The Central-Division-leading Stars are sizeable -235 home favourites against a Coyotes team that has impressed with an 8-6-0 record while ranking in the top half of the league offensively (3.36 GF / GP) and defensively (3.00 GA / GP).
Oettinger will return to the Stars' crease on Sunday after Scott Wedgewood got the nod for the front-end of Dallas' back-to-back last night in Winnipeg. Oettinger has so far delivered on his loft fantasy expectations this season, registering a .6-2-1 record to go along with a .933 SV% and a 2.10 GAA. He most recently stopped 27 of the 29 shots he faced in a 5-2 victory over the Blue Jackets on Thursday. Oettinger and the Stars (-110) draw a relatively tough matchup on the road on Sunday in Minnesota.
After a 5-0-1 start to the season, Oettinger will look to snap a two-game losing streak as he will start for the Dallas Stars on Thursday. Oettinger is still sporting an impressive 2.11 GAA and .933 SV% through eight games (5-2-1) and has still managed an adequate .912 SV% during his losing streak. The Stars defeated the Blue Jackets on October 30th by a score of 5-3, a game where Oettinger saved 22 of 25 shots (.880 SV%). Oettinger and the Stars are -226 road favourites against the Blue Jackets, who have lost six of their last seven (1-3-3).
Oettinger will be the starter for the Stars on Monday after suffering his first regulation loss of the season on Saturday, a 2-0 loss at the hands of the Vancouver Canucks. Loss aside, Oettinger has been reliable and consistent, giving the Stars a chance to win every night, sporting a 1.97 GAA and .938 SV% through seven games (5-1-1). Oettinger and the Stars will be challenged on Monday by the Eastern Conference-leading Boston Bruins, who are off to a blistering 9-1-1 start, outscoring opponents 35-21. That said, the Stars are -141 home favourites in what should be a low-scoring game between two of the top five defensive teams in the league.

Oettinger will look to build on his terrific season as he will start between the pipes for the Stars on Wednesday in Calgary. In five games (4-0-1), Oettinger leads the league with a 1.74 GAA and .940 SV% among goalies that have started at least five games. Oettinger looks poised to improve those league-leading totals as he and the Stars are -132 road favourites against a Flames team that is averaging the fourth-fewest goals scored per game (2.11).
Oettinger served as a backup in the Stars' most recent game and due to their sparse early-season schedule, will only be playing his second game since October 19th. The selective starts and load management for Oettinger seem to be feeding into fine performance for the 24-year-old netminder as he is sporting a terrific 1.44 GAA and .952 SV% through four games (3-0-1). Oettinger appears to be the starter on Monday night as the Stars are sizeable -274 home favourites against a Columbus Blue Jackets team that has lost three straight games (0-1-2) and only scored five goals in that span.

Oettinger will start for the third consecutive game on Thursday and look to bounce back after a 3-2 shootout loss to the Vegas Golden Knights. He made 32 saves in the loss. The Stars are sizeable -255 road favourites against an Anaheim Ducks team that will welcome talented center Leo Calsson, the second overall pick from the 2023 NHL Entry Draft, into their lineup for his NHL debut.

Oettinger makes his second start of the season after an impressive 23-save performance in a 2-1 shootout win over the St. Louis Blues in the Stars' season-opener. Oettinger and the Stars should be well rested, having not seen game-action in five days, and are listed as slight -115 road favourites over the defending Stanely Cup Champion Vegas Golden Knights. In three games against the Golden Knights last season (3-0-0), Oettinger was lights-out, recording a 0.96 GAA and .967 SV%. This rematch of the Western Conference Finals makes for a highly contested matchup in what has traditionally been low-scoring affairs between the two teams.

Oettinger was pulled after allowing three goals on five shots (.400 SV%) in seven minutes in a horrific Game 3 loss as Vegas took a 3-0 series lead with an easy victory over Dallas. The 24-year-old has struggled throughout the playoffs despite having a strong regular season, with his 8-8-0 record, 3.02 GAA and .895 SV%. He will hope to get things back on track and keep the Stars alive with a Victory in Game 4 vs Vegas, who closed out the regular season 14th in the NHL in goals per game (3.26).
