Jake Oettinger News

Oettinger was between the pipes for the Stars on Tuesday, allowing five goals on 27 shots (.815 SV%) in a 5-1 loss to the Colorado Avalanche, and will attempt to rebound on Thursday night. The Stars are -129 home favourites in a battle for Central division supremacy against the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday. The Stars have fared well against the Jets this season, winning both previous contests, including a 27-save shutout for Oettinger in a 2-0 victory.

Oettinger will likely start in the back end of a back-to-back on Tuesday when the Stars face off against their divisional rival, the Colorado Avalanche. The 24-year-old Oettinger was excellent in his last outing, albeit lightly tested, saving 20 of 21 shots (.952 SV) in a 2-1 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday. The Stars last played the Avalanche on January 4th, a 5-4 overtime loss with Scott Wedgewood between the pipes.

After receiving only his second night off in the last 11 games, Oettinger will return to the crease on Thursday night. Oettinger has dropped his last two contests (0-0-2), allowing three or more goals in both while posting an unimpressive .870 SV%. The Stars have lost three straight (0-1-2) but are -157 road favourites entering action against the Ottawa Senators.

On the front end of a back-to-back, the Stars will turn to Oettinger for the fifth straight game. Oettinger saw his seven-game winning streak snap on Saturday when he allowed four goals on 24 shots (.833 SV%) in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Edmonton Oilers. Before that contest, Oettinger was playing remarkably, allowing two or fewer goals in four straight (4-0-0) while posting a tremendous .944 SV%. That said, the Stars will be without Miro Heiskanen (personal) on Monday and are +121 road underdogs against the Boston Bruins.

Oettinger is riding a six-game winning streak and will return to the crease for the third straight game on Thursday. The 25-year-old Oettinger has been tremendous since the All-Star break, allowing two or fewer goals in three games (3-0-0), and posting an outstanding .951 SV%. If Oettinger continues to play at this elite level, the Stars will be a force to be reckoned with down the stretch and into the playoffs. Dallas is a -151 road favourite against a Nashville Predators club that defeated them 6-3 last month.

Oettinger will start for the sixth time in the last seven games and attempt to extend his winning streak to six. After struggling for much of the season, Oettinger has strung together two excellent performances, allowing only three goals and saving 65 of his last 68 shots faced (.956 SV%). The Stars are slight -115 home favourites on Tuesday against a Carolina Hurricanes team that has won five of their last six (5-1-0).

After participating in his first All-Star game over the weekend, Oettinger will tend the twice for the Stars on Tuesday. Oettinger and the Stars are riding a three-game winning streak despite allowing three or more goals in each contest, posting an ugly .867 SV%. Oettinger has had a forgettable first half of the season, posting a 3.04 GAA and .900 SV% through 28 games (16-9-2) and will hope a mental reset from the All-Star break can help him return to elite form.

Oettinger will start for the second straight game on Thursday in a favourable matchup against the low-scoring Anaheim Ducks, as the Stars are sizeable -326 home favourites. Oettinger has showcased a mixed bag of results all season, a trend that has continued since returning from a three-week absence due to a lower-body injury, allowing four or more goals in five games (3-2-0), posting a serviceable .910 SV%.

Oettinger surprisingly served as the backup for both games of a back-to-back set over the weekend after coming down with an illness, but will return to the crease on Tuesday against the Detroit Red Wings. Oettinger has won six of eight contests against the Red Wings in his young career while posting a 2.59 GAA and .896 SV%. The Stars, who have collected a point in two straight (1-0-1), are -135 road favourites against a Red Wings club that has won four of their last five.

Oettinger will look for his third straight win when he tends the twine on Thursday against the Philadelphia Flyers. After a porous first start in his return from a multi-week absence due to a lower-body injury, allowing four goals on 36 shots (.889 SV%) in a 6-3 loss to the Nashville Predators, Oettinger has rebounded nicely, saving 51 of 53 shots faced (.962 SV%) over his last two games (2-0-0). The Stars are -129 road favourites against a Flyers club riding a four-game winning streak.

Oettinger struggled in his first game back from a four-week absence with a lower-body injury, allowing four goals on 36 shots in a 6-3 loss to the Nashville Predators, but was much better the following night, entering the game in relief of an injured Scott Wedgewood, saving 20 of 21 shots in a 3-1 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks. The Stars are -129 home favourites against a Los Angeles Kings team that ended an eight-game losing streak last night with a 5-2 win over the Carolina Hurricanes and historically fared well against Oettinger, getting the better end of the score in two of three contests.
