Jake Oettinger - NHL News & Rumors

Exits ice first Monday Oettinger was the first goalie to exit the ice Monday, Robert Tiffin of D Magazine reports, indicating he'll be in goal on the road against the Kings.

Impact Oettinger will take the first game of the Stars' back-to-back, which means Casey DeSmith figures to get the nod on the road versus Anaheim on Tuesday. The 27-year-old Oettinger is currently mired in a four-game losing streak, posting a 0-2-2 record to go with a 4.55 GAA. Even with Oettinger struggling, he is unlikely to lose the No. 1 job to DeSmith any time soon.

Pulled in second period Oettinger stopped 10 of 15 shots on goal in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact Oettinger struggled immensely in the first 26 minutes of Tuesday's contest, as he allowed five goals, including two in a 102-second span to lead to his benching. Following Tuesday's loss, the 27-year-old netminder now has a 16-8-4 record with a 2.76 GAA and a .900 save percentage across 28 appearances this season. After one of the strongest starts to the 2025-26 campaign among goalies across the league, Oettinger has lost each of his last four outings and has posted a 4.55 GAA. His recent struggles are noteworthy and could lead to a few extra starts for DeSmith, but this rough patch is likely just a hiccup amidst a long season for one of the league's most consistent netminders over the last six seasons. Oettinger's next chance to bounce back is Wednesday in the nation's capital.

Facing Hurricanes Oettinger will defend the road net against Carolina on Tuesday, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

Impact Oettinger is coming off a 25-save effort in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to Montreal. He has a 16-7-4 record this season with two shutouts, a 2.62 GAA and a .905 save percentage through 27 appearances. Carolina sits 10th in the league with 3.26 goals per game this campaign.

Another OT defeat Oettinger stopped 25 of 29 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canadiens.

Impact Oettinger has dropped his last three starts, but two of those losses, against Montreal and Chicago, came in overtime. Oettinger remains an outstanding netminder, but his recent results haven't been the best. The 27-year-old has gone 5-3-2 with a 2.39 GAA and a .913 save percentage over his last 10 appearances.

Starting Sunday Oettinger will start Sunday's contest against the Canadiens, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.

Impact In his last start, Oettinger allowed more than three goals for the first time since Nov. 8 against the Predators when he surrendered four. The 27-year-old is 16-7-3 with a 2.57 GAA and a .907 save percentage on the season. He'll look to cool off the NHL's sixth-best offense (3.29 goals per game) in the Canadiens to get back on track and guide the Stars back to second place in the Central division.

Yields four goals in loss Oettinger allowed four goals on 21 shots in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Blackhawks.

Impact Oettinger has allowed seven goals on 54 shots over a pair of losses (0-1-1) to the Blackhawks in the last week. The 27-year-old netminder gave up the first two goals on Chicago power plays, and a misplay led to Ilya Mikheyev's decisive tally early in the third period. Oettinger is down to 16-7-3 with a 2.57 GAA and a .907 save percentage across 26 starts this season. He's been sharing the crease with Casey DeSmith lately, though it wouldn't be surprising to see Oettinger between the pipes for Sunday's matinee game against the Canadiens.

Facing Blackhawks Oettinger will defend the road goal in Chicago on Thursday, according to Mike Heika of the Stars' official site.

Impact Oettinger has not allowed more than three goals in his last 14 starts, dating back to Nov. 11. The star netminder is 16-6-3 with a pair of shutouts, a 2.51 GAA and a ,910 save percentage across 25 outings this season. The Blackhawks are tumbling down the NHL standings, going 2-7-1 in their last 10 games.

Beaten in shootout loss Oettinger stopped 30 of 33 shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Blackhawks.

Impact Oettinger saw the end of his brief two-game winning run, but the star netminder has posted solid numbers even on the games where he's not winning. This was Oettinger's 14th consecutive game allowing three goals or fewer, and that level of consistency between the pipes has the 27-year-old ranked among the best goaltenders in the NHL. Even after coming off a defeat here, Oettinger is a solid option to trust every time he's confirmed as the starter.

Keeps Toronto quiet Oettinger stopped 27 of 28 shots in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Maple Leafs.

Impact Oettinger had a shutout going until 8:39 of the third period, when Scott Laughton's goal broke it up. That was all Oettinger gave up while working his way to his fifth win in seven outings in December. The 27-year-old netminder improved to 16-6-2 with a 2.50 GAA and a .910 save percentage over 24 appearances. The Stars' next game is Tuesday on the road versus the Red Wings.

Tending goal Sunday Oettinger will get the start Sunday against the Maple Leafs, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports Sunday.

Impact Oettinger is tied for the league lead with 15 wins, sharing that distinction with four other netminders. The 27-year-old is coming off of a 34-save performance against the Sharks his last time out, snapping a personal two-game losing streak. He brings a 15-6-2 record, 2.56 GAA and a .907 save percentage into battle with the Maple Leafs, losers of four of their last five games.

DECEMBER 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Allows three goals in win Oettinger stopped 34 of 37 shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Sharks.

Impact The Stars were strong in the first period, and that was enough with the final two frames being pretty even. Oettinger won for the first time in three starts, though he's now allowed three goals in each of his last three outings. For the season, he's up to 15-6-2 with a 2.56 GAA and a .907 save percentage over 23 starts. The American netminder will likely get some rest Friday versus the Ducks, so expect to see Casey DeSmith between the pipes for that game. Oettinger should make his next start at home Sunday versus the Maple Leafs.
