Oettinger, 23, was the starter for the Stars last season and led the team to the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>He earned the starting role after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/h\/holtbbr01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Braden Holtby<\/a> went down with an injury, but quickly proved himself to be the number one option over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/w\/wedgesc01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Scott Wedgewood<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Oettinger has played for Dallas for the entirety of his pro career, although he started in the NCAA before making the jump to professional hockey.<\/p>\n<p>Oettinger helped the Stars reach the playoffs, although the team was bounced in the first round by the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/category\/flames\/\" target=\"_self\">Calgary Flames<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>What This Means<\/h3>\n<p>For Oettinger, this is a well-deserved payday. He has been a really solid starter for Dallas and was the main reason the Stars stretched the first-round series against the Flames to 7 games. He should be able to replicate the season he had previously, although he may take a step back considering this past season was a contract year.<\/p>\n<p>Oettinger will be the starter going forward with the Stars, and will add a significant amount of goaltending depth. He should be secure with the job considering his performance from last season.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, he is 23, so he should be a starter for a long time. He also isn&#8217;t in his prime yet, so he is only going to get better as the years go by.<\/p>\n<p>With Oettinger and the Stars suffering a heartbreaking defeat in game 7 last year, he should have more motivation than ever to take the team deep into the playoffs and continue his hot streak. All Stars fans can breathe a sigh of relief when Jake Oettinger re-signs his contract.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo:<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"UB9GANZ_Sady7CTSGYOMXg\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1240698956\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'UB9GANZ_Sady7CTSGYOMXg',sig:'PEJn2qA1ztqGQKHtM_8qbo9wM_Mc1ZxuT-iXQw5b6g8=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1240698956',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dallas Stars have re-signed goaltender Jake Oettinger to a three-year $12 million deal.
