Oettinger stopped 17 of 21 shots in Thursday's 5-4 shootout win over the Golden Knights.
Oettinger picked up his fourth straight win, but it wasn't pretty. He squandered a 4-1 lead during the third period, but he was able to get back on track in overtime and the shootout. Oettinger is up to 21-10-4 with a 2.69 GAA and a .900 save percentage over 35 starts this season. This was his sixth start in seven games, so it wouldn't be surprising if Casey DeSmith got the nod for one of the Stars' three remaining contests before the Olympic break.

Oettinger will get the starting nod at home versus the Bruins on Tuesday, Brien Rea of Victory+ reports.
Oettinger has underwhelmed of late, securing just one win in his last seven outings while posting a 1-4-2 record and a 3.42 GAA. If the 27-year-old netminder can't right the ship soon, he could be in danger of missing the 30-win mark for the first time since 2020-21 when he was a rookie.

Rotowire
Oettinger will start Thursday's road game against Utah, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

Stars' Jake Oettinger: Returns to win column Monday
Rotowire
Oettinger turned aside 24 of 25 shots during Monday's 3-1 win over the Kings.
Oettinger had been shaky in recent outings, going 0-2-2 with a 4.55 GAA and .835 save percentage over his last four starts. He entered Monday's matchup coming off his worst performance of the season, as he saved just 10 of 15 shots (.667 save percentage) in a loss to the Hurricanes on Jan. 6 before being pulled in the second period. However, Oettinger bounced back against the Kings' lackluster offense Monday, and he earned his first win since Dec. 21. The Stars are slated to face Anaheim in the second half of a back-to-back set Tuesday, and Oettinger will likely get a night off while Casey DeSmith draws the start.

Stars' Jake Oettinger: Exits ice first Monday
Rotowire
Oettinger was the first goalie to exit the ice Monday, Robert Tiffin of D Magazine reports, indicating he'll be in goal on the road against the Kings.
Oettinger will take the first game of the Stars' back-to-back, which means Casey DeSmith figures to get the nod on the road versus Anaheim on Tuesday. The 27-year-old Oettinger is currently mired in a four-game losing streak, posting a 0-2-2 record to go with 16 goals allowed on 97 shots in that span. Even with Oettinger struggling, he is unlikely to lose the No. 1 job to DeSmith any time soon.

Rotowire
