Oettinger will return to the crease after serving as the backup to Scott Wedgewood on Monday in the Stars' 6-3 victory over the New York Rangers. The Stars have been keen on managing Oettinger's workload this season as the 24-year-old netminder was due for a rest after playing three consecutive games (2-1-0), posting an out-of-character .876 SV%. The last time Oettinger had four or more days of rest between games, he saved 38 of 39 shots (.974 SV%). In his only matchup against the Vegas Golden Knights this season, also after four days of rest, he saved 32 of 34 shots (.941 SV%) in a 3-2 shootout loss.
