Jake Oettinger - Page 2 - NHL News & Rumors

Yields three goals in loss Oettinger stopped 22 of 25 shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Lightning. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Oettinger didn't get the necessary goal support to steer him out of a rough patch. He's lost six of his last seven games (1-3-3), and this was the fifth time in that span he's given up at least three goals. For the season, Oettinger is down to 17-10-4 with a 2.69 GAA and a .902 save percentage over 31 starts. The Stars' next game is at home versus the surging Bruins on Tuesday, who come into that game on a six-game winning streak.

Facing Lightning on Sunday Oettinger will defend the home goal versus Tampa Bay on Sunday, Stars' beat writer Robert Tiffin reports.

Impact Oettinger has struggled of late, going 1-3-2 with a 3.48 GAA and an .872 save percentage across his last six starts. Overall, the netminder is 17-9-4 with a pair of shutouts, a 2.68 GAA and a .903 save percentage over 30 appearances. The Lightning are 11-0-1 in their last 12 games and are second in NHL scoring, generating 3.48 goals per game this season.

Takes hard-luck loss Oettinger stopped 25 of 27 shots in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Mammoth.

Impact Oettinger had another good game, but a goal late in the second period by Nick Schmaltz and a tough bounce on John Marino's tally in the third sent the American netminder to the loss, his fifth in his last six outings. Oettinger has allowed just three goals on 52 shots over his last two games, suggesting he has turned the corner from his struggles in late December and early January. Overall, the 27-year-old has 17-9-4 record with a 2.68 GAA and a .903 save percentage across 30 appearances. The Stars are back at home for a tough matchup versus the Lightning on Sunday.

Tending twine Thursday Oettinger will start Thursday's road game against Utah, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

Impact Oettinger has started in just one of the Stars' last four games, but he'll return to the crease Thursday after getting a night off Tuesday in Anaheim during the second half of a back-to-back set. He's been relatively shaky since the start of the calendar year, but he had a successful outing against Los Angeles on Monday, turning aside 24 of 25 shots en route to a 3-1 victory.

Returns to win column Monday Oettinger turned aside 24 of 25 shots during Monday's 3-1 win over the Kings.

Impact Oettinger had been shaky in recent outings, going 0-2-2 with a 4.55 GAA and .835 save percentage over his last four starts. He entered Monday's matchup coming off his worst performance of the season, as he saved just 10 of 15 shots (.667 save percentage) in a loss to the Hurricanes on Jan. 6 before being pulled in the second period. However, Oettinger bounced back against the Kings' lackluster offense Monday, and he earned his first win since Dec. 21. The Stars are slated to face Anaheim in the second half of a back-to-back set Tuesday, and Oettinger will likely get a night off while Casey DeSmith draws the start.

Jason Robertson strikes late in the third period to help send Stars to 3-1 victory over Kings

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.

JANUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

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.

JANUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

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.
