The Dallas Stars announced on Thursday that they've agreed to terms on a three-year contract worth $12 million ($4 million AAV) with restricted free agent goaltender Jake Oettinger.

"Jake's performance spoke for itself last season," said Stars General Manager Jim Nill. "He has elite physical ability and presence in the net, while also exhibiting phenomenal mental strength in high pressure situations. Jake's poise and character off the ice have made him a leader in our locker room. He has shown that he has the skill, work ethic and poise to excel at the NHL level. He was a key part of the team's success last season, and we're excited to see him continue to grow here in Dallas."

Oettinger, 23, took a big step last season, assuming the starting job between the pipes for Dallas, after splitting the starts with Anton Khudobin during the 2020-21 season.

The Lakeville (Minnesota) native appeared in 48 games for the Stars during the 2021-22 campaign where he had a record of 30-15-1, a a 2.53 GAA, a .914 save percentage and one shutout.
