2025 Fantasy Outlook
Some players crumble under the pressure of living up to a new contract, but Oettinger didn't do that in 2024-25. He signed an eight-year extension just after the start of the season, and that deal kicks in for 2025-26. He didn't rest on his laurels, putting up a 36-18-4 record with a 2.59 GAA and a .909 save percentage in 58 regular-season games. It's not the best Oettinger has done, but he remains among the top goalies in the league. He's reached the 30-win mark four years in a row and has never posted a save percentage lower than .905 in a full season. With a strong and deep Stars team in front of him, Oettinger is reliable in virtually all fantasy formats. Read Past Outlooks
Signed an eight-year, $66 million contract extension with the Stars in October of 2024.
Pulled in first period
Oettinger was pulled Thursday in the first period after he allowed goals on each of the first two shots he faced in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals against the Oilers. The Oilers ultimately defeated the Stars 6-3 to take the series.
ANALYSIS
He was replaced by Casey DeSmith at 7:09 of the first period. Oettinger, who allowed 16 goals in the series, had little chance on either goal allowed. Corey Perry was alone and unmarked in front of goal when he scored a power-play marker at 2:31, and Mattias Janmark scored on a breakaway at 7:09 after being sprung behind the Dallas defense by a couple of seeing-eye passes. Oettinger was far from his stellar self this postseason. He was 1-3 in the first four games of this series with a 3.55 GAA and .869 save percentage, and entering Thursday he was 9-8 through his first 17 playoff starts with a 2.72 GAA and .908 save percentage overall.

2020
Oettinger had an off year in 2023-24. Despite sitting sixth on the NHL win list (35), the 25-year-old netminder barely cracked the top-20 in GAA (2.72) and tied for 25th in save percentage (.905) among backstops with 25 or more starts. And his GSAx (goals saved above expectation) dropped from eight-best in the NHL in 2022-23 to 50th last year. Still, Oettinger is one of the best young goalies in the world - he has two All-Star appearances in his three full seasons, and he's already been in the top-five voting for the Vezina twice. Casey DeSmith is a sturdy, but unspectacular backup, so expect Oettinger to log 55-60 starts and get back into elite territory. He's in the top tier in the NHL and will only get better. Last year was a blip.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Poised to start Monday
Oettinger is likely to get the starting nod against the Red Wings on the road Monday, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
This has the potential to be Oettinger's final regular-season appearance, as the Stars don't have anything to play for in terms of postseason positioning in these final two games. As such, it wouldn't be a shock to see Casey DeSmith between the pipes for Wednesday's road game versus Nashville. For the fourth straight season, the 26-year-old Oettinger has racked up at least 30 wins, posting a 36-16-4 record to go with a 2.48 GAA, .912 save percentage and two shutouts in 56 outings. Regardless of who starts Wednesday, it will be all Oettinger in the playoffs.
