The Stars have had a spread-out schedule to begin the 2025-26 season and will roll with Oettinger between the pipes for a third straight contest on Tuesday against the Minnesota Wild. Oettinger and the Stars are 2-0-0 to start the season, but have faced some adversity defensively. The 26-year-old netminder has a 3.84 GAA and .875 SV% through two games. Dallas enters its home opener on Tuesday as -189 home favorites against a Minnesota team that played last night and defeated the Los Angeles Kings 4-3 in a shootout.
