2024 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks

Solid in win over Sharks
GDallas Stars
November 21, 2024
Oettinger stopped 21 of 23 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.
ANALYSIS
Oettinger returned to the lineup after resting in the 4-2 loss to the Ducks on Monday, and the star goaltender was excellent between the pipes in a game that turned out to be more complicated than expected. Oettinger has been on a tear of late and has won each of his last four starts, posting a 1.50 GAA and a .935 save percentage in that span. He's cemented his place as one of the elite goaltenders in the league.

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.

Manning starter's crease
GDallas Stars
November 18, 2024
Oettinger took the starter's crease at Monday's morning skate, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports, indicating he'll be in goal at home versus Anaheim.
ANALYSIS
Oettinger looks set to make his sixth straight start, having gone 4-1-0 with a 2.01 GAA in his last five outings. Backup Casey DeSmith has looked solid, posting a 1.79 GAA and one shutout in five contests, but with only one back-to-back on the November schedule, the Stars have decided to give Oettinger a heavy workload.
