The Stars will turn to Oettinger between the pipes for the second straight game when they face off against the Buffalo Sabres. On Saturday, Oettinger played his first game after signing a massive eight-year, $66 million contract extension and proved his worth by saving 30 of 31 shots (.968 SV%) in a 4-1 win over the Edmonton Oilers. The 25-year-old Oettinger has been outstanding early in the 2024-25 season, boasting an impressive 1.48 GAA and .953 SV% in four games (4-0-0).

After a stellar start to the 2024-25 season, posting a 1.63 GAA and .948 SV% in three games (3-0-0), impending RFA Jake Oettinger has signed a massive eight-year, $66 million contract extension. The extension mirrors the recent extension signed by fellow American netminder Jeremy Swayman with the Boston Bruins two weeks ago. Oettinger was the Stars' 26th overall pick in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft and has cemented himself as their starting goalie for the last three seasons. The 26-year-old Oettinger has a 2.49 GAA, .914 SV%, and 11 shutouts in 196 career appearances (116-48-23).

The Dallas Stars have not allowed a goal in consecutive games while alternating between Oettinger and Casey DeSmith in net. The Stars will return to Oettinger between the pipes on Tuesday in a matchup where the Stars are significant -341 home favorites against the San Jose Sharks. Two games into his 2024-25 campaign (2-0-0), Oettinger is sporting a spectacular 1.51 GAA and .957 SV%.

To no one's surprise, Oettinger will start for the Stars in their season opener against the Nashville Predators, who will likely turn to Oettinger's former understudy between the pipes, Scott Wedgewood. With the departure of Wedgewood from Dallas, the Stars signed Casey DeSmith to serve as Oettinger's backup this season. The 33-year-old DeSmith has started more than 30 games only once in his career, an indication that Oettinger will likely start more than the 53 times he did last season. As an impending RFA, Oettinger will also be hoping to improve on his statistics from last season when he posted an unspectacular 2.72 GAA and .905 SV% in 54 appearances (35-14-4).

Oettinger allowed four goals on 28 shots in the Stars' loss in Edmonton in Game 4. Oettinger gave up seven goals in two games in Edmonton and now has a .912 SV% in the series and a .917 SV% across 17 postseason games. Oettinger and the Stars come into Game 5 as -117 home favourites.
