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.
Earns win against Winnipeg
Oettinger stopped 21 of 25 shots in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Oettinger was beaten once in the first period and three more times in the third, but the Stars provided him with enough support on offense so he could open the season with a win. Oettinger should be one of the best goaltenders in fantasy once again in 2025-26, as he figures to handle a big workload on a contending team. He went 36-18-4 with a 2.59 GAA and .909 save percentage last season.

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.
