Dueling Sabres Oettinger will patrol the home crease in Saturday's home clash against the Sabres, per Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine.

Impact Oettinger will look to bounce back Saturday after allowing his largest number of goals against this season in Thursday's 8-3 loss to Winnipeg. Thursday's performance was an outlier for the 27-year-old backstop, who has performed at a high level this season with a 9-4-1 record, a 2.33 GAA and an .895 save percentage over 14 appearances. He'll draw a favorable matchup Saturday against the Sabres, who rank 22nd in the NHL with 2.89 goals per game this season.

Pulled from Thursday's loss Oettinger stopped 21 of 27 shots in Thursday's 8-3 loss to the Jets.

Impact Oettinger was on the hook for five goals in the second period, but he started the third in the crease. He gave up a goal in the first minute, prompting the switch to Casey DeSmith, who stopped just one of the three shots he faced. It's a rare misstep for Oettinger, who had won three straight games entering Thursday. On the year, Oettinger has a 9-4-1 record with a 2.33 GAA and an .895 save percentage over 14 starts. The Stars' defense hadn't let him see more than 26 shots in any game prior to this one. With multiple injury concerns on the blue line, Oettinger could be in for a rough stretch until the team in front of him is healthier. The Stars have a challenging back-to-back over the weekend, hosting the Sabres on Saturday and the Panthers on Sunday, which should lead to one start apiece for Oettinger and DeSmith.

Drawing start against Winnipeg Oettinger will start Thursday's home game against the Jets, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.

Impact Oettinger is in the midst of a three-game winning streak, and he'll draw a second consecutive start Thursday. Across his last eight appearances, he's gone 7-1-0 with a 2.48 GAA and .882 save percentage. The 27-year-old made a home start against the Jets on Oct. 22 and allowed two goals on 19 shots (.895 save percentage) in an overtime win.

Makes 20 saves in win Oettinger stopped 20 of 23 shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Sharks.

Impact Oettinger surrendered goals to Michael Misa, Ivar Stenberg and Will Smith but protected Dallas' narrow advantage throughout the third period. The netminder finished with an .870 save percentage, relying on strong offensive support to secure the victory. Although his efficiency was underwhelming, the Stars' ability to generate scoring opportunities continues to provide a favorable environment for accumulating fantasy wins. That said, he was unable to sustain his impressive start to the season and has now posted single-game save percentages below .900 in five of his last six outings. But with a 5-1-0 record and a 2.99 GAA in that stretch, there's no reason to stop trusting Oettinger as an everyday starter across all formats.
