Oettinger was the first goalie off during Thursday's morning skate, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports, indicating that he'll draw the home start against the Canadiens.
Oettinger has been strong over the past two weeks, going 4-0-0 with a shutout, a 1.71 GAA and a .909 save percentage across four starts during that time. The Canadiens have recorded 3.00 goals per game to begin the regular season, which is tied for 17th in the NHL.
