Oettinger stopped 21 of 23 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Sharks. Oettinger returned to the lineup after resting in the 4-2 loss to the Ducks on Monday, and the star goaltender was excellent between the pipes in a game that turned out to be more complicated than expected. Oettinger has been on a tear of late and has won each of his last four starts, posting a 1.50 GAA and a .935 save percentage in that span. He's cemented his place as one of the elite goaltenders in the league.

Oettinger is expected to start at home against San Jose on Wednesday, per Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine. Oettinger has won his past three starts while allowing just four goals on 69 shots (.942 save percentage). He had a down campaign in 2023-24 with a 2.72 GAA and a .905 save percentage across 54 regular-season outings, but Oettinger is enjoying a resurgent season, posting a 9-3-0 record, 2.27 GAA and .917 save percentage through 12 appearances. San Jose, which ranks 28th offensively with 2.50 goals per game, figures to be a favorable matchup for Oettinger.

Oettinger stopped 22 of 23 shots in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Wild. Oettinger didn't face a lot of pressure early on. He gave up a goal to Kirill Kaprizov in the third period but held the fort after that to preserve the lead. This was Oettinger's third win in a row, and he's allowed exactly one goal in three of his last five outings. The 25-year-old netminder is now 9-3-0 with a 2.27 GAA and a .917 save percentage through 12 games this season. The Stars' next two games are home matchups versus the Ducks on Monday and the Sharks on Wednesday. Given the quality of those opponents, it wouldn't be surprising for Casey DeSmith to draw a start for one of those contests, especially since Oettinger has played a season-high five games in a row.

Oettinger has made four straight starts and could be due for some rest ahead of Saturday's matchup at Minnesota. Over his last four starts, the star netminder has gone 3-1-0 with a 2.30 GAA and a .908 save percentage.
