Jake Oettinger News

Oettinger has strung together a few solid performances, posting a 2.04 GAA and .922 SV% in his last three games (1-2-0), but remains below .500 in that stretch, a regularity for a Stars team that has struggled in recent weeks. The 27-year-old Oettinger has a 2.94 GAA and .890 SV% in his last 11 games since mid-December (3-6-2). The Stars hope to end their downward spiral, entering Tuesday's contest as -136 home favorites against a Boston Bruins team on a six-game winning streak.

The Stars have followed up an outstanding 18-3-2 run by being one of the worst teams in the NHL, losing nine of their last 11 games (2-5-4). That said, Oettinger has played well in his last two outings (1-1-0), saving 49 of 52 combined shots (.942 SV%). The Stars will need Oettinger at his best, as they enter Sunday’s game as +105 home underdogs against a Tampa Bay Lightning team on an 11-0-1 stretch.

Oettinger was terrific in his most recent outing, saving 24 of 25 shots (.960 SV%), which the Stars hope is the beginning of an upward trend for their goalie, who posted an ugly 3.32 GAA and .879 SV% in his previous eight games (2-4-2). The 27-year-old Oettinger has a 2.70 GAA and .902 SV% in 29 games this season (17-8-4). The Stars enter the action on Thursday as slight -100 road underdogs against a Utah Mammoth team coming off an impressive 6-1 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs, improving to 4-0-1 in their last five games.

Oettinger has allowed three or more goals in seven of his last eight games (2-4-2), posting a 3.33 GAA and .879 SV%, and hopes start with a clean slate on Monday against the Los Angeles Kings. The 27-year-old Oettinger has seen his totals fall in recent weeks, boasting a 2.76 GAA and .900 SV% in 28 games (16-8-4). The Stars enter Monday's contest as -117 road favorites against a typically low-scoring Kings team that is on an offensive surge, averaging 3.5 goals per game over its past eight games (4-3-1).

The Stars are desperate to snap a season-worst five-game losing skid (0-2-3), and will turn to Oettinger to tend the twine on Tuesday against the Carolina Hurricanes. The 27-year-old American goalie has allowed three or more goals in three straight games (0-1-2). He has a 2.62 GAA and .905 SV% in 27 games this season (16-7-4). The Stars enter the action on Tuesday as +122 road underdogs against a Hurricanes team that snapped a three-game losing streak in their most recent game, a 3-1 win over the New Jersey Devils.

The Stars ended the 2025 calendar year on a low note, losing 4-1 to the Buffalo Sabres last night and extending their losing streak to three games (0-1-2). The Stars still have the second-best record in the NHL, but have been trending in the wrong direction lately, going 4-3-2 in their last nine games. Oettinger will tend the twine on Thursday, looking to improve on his 2.51 GAA and .910 SV% through 25 games this season (16-6-3). The Stars enter Thursday's contest as -173 road favorites against the Chicago Blackhawks, who defeated them 4-3 in a shootout last week.

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.
