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

Pulled in first period
GDallas Stars
May 29, 2025
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.
If there was any doubt remaining, Oettinger squashed it emphatically in 2022-23. He went 37-11-11 with a 2.37 GAA and a .919 save percentage over 62 games, establishing himself as a full-time starter. Still just 24 years old, his best years are likely still ahead of him, and the Stars look like a team poised to be competitive for a number of years to come. Aside from a shoddy overtime record, Oettinger is clearly a top-5 netminder and should be off the board within the first three rounds of most fantasy drafts. He's also entering the second season of a three-year contract, so he still has plenty to play for as he positions himself for a rich payday on a long-term deal.
Oettinger wasn't a true No. 1 goaltender for Dallas a season ago, as he appeared in just 48 of their 82 regular-season games. He still managed to post 30 victories, while his 2.53 GAA and .914 save percentages were fair, but not excellent. Oettinger's real breakthrough came in the postseason. In the Stars' first-round loss to the Flames, Oettinger finished with a 1.81 GAA and .954 save percentage, including stopping 64 of 67 shots in Calgary's 3-2 overtime win in Game 7. Seeing how well Oettinger played in the playoffs gives real hope that he's the club's long-term answer in goal, but Oettinger -- a restricted free agent -- remained unsigned as of late August, putting his short-term future with the club in some doubt.
A long-term injury to Ben Bishop allowed Oettinger to begin the 2020-21 season with the Stars and he ended up earning more playing time than assumed starter Anton Khudobin. His numbers were excellent (11-8-7, 2.36 GAA, .911 save percentage), and he played the entire season at age 22. Oettinger is a former first-round pick (26th overall, 2017), so the Stars always thought highly of him, but the immediate production was nonetheless surprising. There's no timetable for Bishop's return and Khudobin is 35 years old, so Oettinger would appear to be in the driver's seat to lead what is likely another committee in goal for the Stars heading into the 2021-22 campaign. Oettinger will be a mid-tier fantasy option whenever he gets the call.
Oettinger posted a 15-16-4 record, a 2.57 GAA and a .917 save percentage with three shutouts for AHL Texas in 2019-20. He also made a pair of relief appearances during the parent club's playoff run, turning aside eight shots in 37 minutes. With Ben Bishop expected to be sidelined until March while recovering from knee surgery, Oettinger will be Anton Khudobin's primary backup to begin 2020-21. A solid contributor in the minors, the 21-year-old Oettinger likely won't see more than a handful of games this year, but it will be valuable experience and a measuring stick to see if he can be the Stars' goalie of the future. Dynasty league managers will want to keep an eye on him as a potential asset for the future.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Poised to start Monday
GDallas Stars
April 14, 2025
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.
