2026 Fantasy Outlook
Oettinger wasn't at his best in 2025-26, going 35-12-6 with a 2.59 GAA and an .899 save percentage over 54 regular-season games. That's still decent work, but Oettinger had never been below a .905 save percentage prior to last year. The American netminder is one of the easiest locks for a starter role in the league, which gives him plenty of fantasy value right off the bat. Playing for a consistent contender helps his cause as well -- he's earned 30 wins in five straight seasons. Oettinger should be in line for a bounce-back performance in the 2026-27 campaign, even as the league average save percentage trends down. He'll be a top-tier goalie option who is likely to go off the board in the early rounds in most formats. He's also a strong target in leagues that reward wins. Read Past Outlooks
Signed an eight-year, $66 million contract extension with the Stars in October of 2024.
Unable to extend series
Oettinger stopped 16 of 19 shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Wild in Game 6. The last two goals were empty-netters.
ANALYSIS
The Stars weren't able to generate much on their chances outside a pair of second-period tallies. Oettinger went 2-4 with a 2.83 GAA and an .893 save percentage over all six games in the first round. The 27-year-old will have a longer offseason than he's accustomed to, but he is under contract long term after signing an eight-year extension in October of 2024. He'll be among the top tier of goalies available in fantasy drafts in the fall.

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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Poised to start Monday
Oettinger is working in the starter's crease ahead of Monday's Game 2 at home versus the Wild, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports, indicating he'll tend the twine.
ANALYSIS
Oettinger underwhelmed in Game 1, giving up five goals on 28 shots in a 6-1 defeat to the Wild. It was the 27-year-old backstop's first loss in the month of April, having gone 5-0-0 to end the regular season. Even with Oettinger having dropped the first game of the series, he figures to be a lock to feature in goal for the Stars ahead of Casey DeSmith.
