Jake Oettinger News

The Stars have struggled offensively at times to start the season, but they can point to Jake Oettinger's outstanding play as the reason for their 5-3-1 record. In seven games this season (4-2-1), the 27-year-old Oettinger has already posted three shutouts, with an outstanding 1.13 GAA and .945 SV%. He saved 18 of 20 shots (.900 SV%) in his previous game, a 3-2 overtime win over the Boston Bruins. The Stars enter Thursday's divisional clash as sizeable -196 home favourites against a Winnipeg Jets team that has scored two or fewer goals in three of their last five games (1-3-1).

The Stars have struggled offensively at times to start the season, but can attribute a winning 4-3-1 record to the outstanding play of Jake Oettinger. In six games this season (3-2-1), the 27-year-old Oettinger has already posted three shutouts, with an outstanding 1.00 GAA and .952 SV%. He stopped all 19 shots in his previous game, a 4-0 win over the Chicago Blackhawks. The Stars enter Tuesday's contest as -162 home favourites against a Boston Bruins team riding a league-best five-game winning streak.

Oettinger was trending towards a career-best three-game shutout streak in his previous outing, but allowed a goal in the third period of an eventual 2-1 shootout loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins. The 27-year-old Oettinger has been outstanding to start the 2026-27 season, posting an absurd 0.74 GAA and .963 SV% in four games (2-1-1). The Stars enter the front end of a back-to-back against the 3-2-0 Colorado Avalanche as slight +103 home underdogs.

After a miserable start to the season, outscoring 6-1 in their first two games (0-2-0), the Stars are coming off a 5-0 statement win over the San Jose Sharks and hope to carry that momentum into Thursday's contest against the Buffalo Sabres. The 27-year-old Oettinger stopped all 13 shots for his first shutout of the season, improving to a 1.01 GAA and .943 SV% in two games (1-1-0). The Stars enter Thursday's contest as slight -114 road favourites against a 2-1-0 Buffalo Sabres team.

The Stars have gotten adequate play from Jake Oettinger and Casey DeSmith through two games this season, but they've amassed only one goal and are off to an unexpected 0-2-0 start. The 27-year-old Oettinger had a subpar 2025-26 season, posting a 2.59 GAA and .899 SV% through 54 games (35-12-6), but he was solid in his season opener, saving 20 of 22 shots (.909 SV%) in an eventual 4-0 loss to the St. Louis Blues. The Stars enter Monday's contest as -199 home favourites against a San Jose Sharks team that has scored nine goals through two games (2-0-0).

The Stars have complemented Oettinger with a strong backup in Casey DeSmith, easing the pressure of a heavy workload, but that translated into career-worst totals for Oettinger last season. The 27-year-old American goalie posted a 2.59 GAA and a subpar .899 SV% last season in 54 games (35-12-6). Oettinger should continue to pile up wins in 2026-27, with the Stars a strong team, but it's unclear whether he will challenge the league's best netminders with an improved save percentage. The Stars enter their season opener as -180 home favourites against the St. Louis Blues.

Dallas played it safe with their star goaltender on Wednesday, sitting Jake Oettinger due to lower-body tightness for their 2-0 preseason loss vs. Minnesota. The 27-year-old is entering his seventh NHL season and has 35+ wins in each of the last four seasons while taking the majority of the reps in the Stars' net.

After a poor opening game of the series against the Minnesota Wild, allowing five goals on 28 shots (.821 SV%) in a 6-1 loss, Oettinger has rebounded by posting a solid 2.30 GAA and .916 SV% in his following four games (2-2). That said, down 3-2, the Stars likely need Oettinger's best performance of the series if they hope to play a Game Seven. Dallas enters Game Six on Thursday as slight +110 road underdogs.

After an ugly Game One, allowing five goals on 28 shots (.821 SV%) in a 6-1 loss to the Minnesota Wild, Oettinger has rebounded with three consecutive impressive outings. The 27-year-old goalie saved 40 shots (.930 SV%) on Saturday and was tremendous, especially in overtime, but eventually allowed the game-deciding goal in a 3-2 loss to even the series at 2-2. In his last three games, Oettinger has a 2.07 GAA and .924 SV%. The Stars enter a crucial Game Five on Tuesday as -126 home favourites.

Despite having a 2.85 GAA and .889 SV% through three games, Jake Oettinger has led the Dallas Stars to an early 2-1 series lead and will yet again take the crease for Game 4 on Saturday. The 27-year-old won 35 games for a fourth straight season in 2025-26, posting a 35-12-6 record with a 2.59 GAA and .899 SV%. He heads to Minnesota to take on the Wild for Game 4, who have only scored 5 goals in their last two games after sneaking six goals by Oettinger in Game 1.

After a dreadful Game One performance, allowing five goals on 28 shots (.821 SV%) in a blowout 6-1 loss to the Minnesota Wild, Oettinger silenced critics in Game Two, saving 28 of 30 shots (.933 SV%) in a 4-2 win to even the series at 1-1. The 27-year-old Oettinger is seemingly following his postseason script from a year ago, when he opened the playoffs by allowing four goals on 24 shots (.833 SV%) in a blowout 5-1 Game One loss to the Colorado Avalanche before rebounding with a 2.63 GAA and .920 SV% in his next six games (4-2) to ultimately win the series. The Stars enter Game Three as +112 road underdogs.

Coming off arguably the worst regular season of his career, posting a 2.59 GAA and an ugly .899 SV% in 54 games (35-12-6), Oettinger began his postseason with a forgetful performance, allowing five goals on 28 shots (.821 SV%) in a blowout 6-1 Game One loss to the Minnesota Wild. That said, if history is an indicator, the Stars will be hopeful that Oettinger can repeat his postseason performance from a year ago. Last year, Oettinger opened the playoff by allowing four goals on 24 shots (.833 SV%) in a blowout 5-1 Game One loss to the Colorado Avalanche, but rebounded by posting a 2.63 GAA and .920 SV% in his next four games (4-2) to ultimately win the series. The Stars enter Game Two against Minnesota as -128 home favourites.
