Scott Wedgewood received his first start of the season on Saturday as the Stars will likely turn back to Oettinger on Tuesday against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Oettinger has been terrific to start the season, registering a 1.58 GAA and .943 SV% in three games (2-0-1). The Stars, who have earned at least a point in each game (3-0-1), are -126 road favourites against a Penguins team that has been outscored 10-5 in their last two outings (0-2-0).

Oettinger will start for the third consecutive game on Thursday and look to bounce back after a 3-2 shootout loss to the Vegas Golden Knights. He made 32 saves in the loss. The Stars are sizeable -255 road favourites against an Anaheim Ducks team that will welcome talented center Leo Calsson, the second overall pick from the 2023 NHL Entry Draft, into their lineup for his NHL debut. Last season, Oettinger had a 0.96 GAA and .969 SV% along with a shutout in two contests against the Ducks.

Oettinger makes his second start of the season after an impressive 23-save performance in a 2-1 shootout win over the St. Louis Blues in the Stars' season-opener. Oettinger and the Stars should be well rested, having not seen game-action in five days, and are listed as slight -115 road favourites over the defending Stanely Cup Champion Vegas Golden Knights. In three games against the Golden Knights last season (3-0-0), Oettinger was lights-out, recording a 0.96 GAA and .967 SV%. This rematch of the Western Conference Finals makes for a highly contested matchup in what has traditionally been low-scoring affairs between the two teams.
