Stars' Jake Oettinger: Not expected to start Tuesday
Rotowire
Oettinger (personal) isn't expected to patrol the home crease against Edmonton on Tuesday, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.
Oettinger missed Monday's practice because of the birth of his child. He has posted a 5-2-2 record this season while stopping 241 of the 264 shots he has faced. If the Stars don't recall someone from AHL Texas, Oettinger could suit up as Casey DeSmith's backup goalie for Tuesday's matchup.

Stars' Jake Oettinger: Gets back in win column
Rotowire
Oettinger allowed two goals on 28 shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Hurricanes.
Oettinger was sharp against a strong but injury-depleted team at the tail end of its road trip. That was good enough for Oettinger to get his first win since Oct. 14 versus the Wild. The 26-year-old netminder is now at a 4-2-1 record with a 2.98 GAA and an .899 save percentage over seven starts. We haven't seen Oettinger's best early in the season, but he's played well enough to handle a starting role. He'll likely take the bench Sunday in Nashville to close out a back-to-back set -- look for Casey DeSmith to be between the pipes for that one.

Stars' Jake Oettinger: Drops result in overtime
Rotowire
Oettinger stopped 22 of 25 shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Kings.
Oettinger has allowed nine goals on 74 shots during his 0-2-1 skid. The Stars haven't had it easy to begin the year, with five of their first seven games being against 2024-25 playoff teams. The 26-year-old is 3-2-1 with a 3.15 GAA and an .894 save percentage. There's another level of performance in there, but Oettinger's struggles can be partially attributed to the Stars dealing with a number of injuries early in the campaign. He will likely split the next two games with Casey DeSmith, as Dallas hosts Carolina on Saturday before visiting Nashville on Sunday.

Oettinger was beaten twice in the second period, via Jordan Kyrou and Jimmy Snuggerud, and by the time the Blues tacked on a third goal, he was already on the bench with the Stars pushing for a late equalizer. This was Oettinger's first loss of the season, but his numbers haven't been eye-popping at all. Through four starts, he owns a 3-1-0 record with a 2.95 GAA and a .905 save percentage.

Stars' Jake Oettinger: Another high-scoring win
Rotowire
Oettinger stopped 35 of 39 shots in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over the Avalanche.
Oettinger has allowed eight goals on 64 shots over his two starts this year, but the Stars have given him enough support to walk away with a pair of wins. The 26-year-old is talented enough to get on track in short order, so fantasy managers shouldn't fret about him allowing a lot of goals. The Stars have their home opener up next, as they'll host the Wild on Tuesday for a third straight divisional game to begin 2025-26.

He went 36-18-4 with a 2.59 GAA and .909 save percentage last season.
