Oettinger is undefeated to open the 2024-25 campaign, posting a 4-0-0 record to go with a 1.48 GAA and one shutout. Even without a back-to-back over the Stars' next three contests, the team could still give the 25-year-old Oettinger a night off and let Scott Wedgewood take a start, perhaps versus the Bruins on Thursday. Still, Oettinger should see the bulk of the workload this year and could play upward of 60 games this year.
