DALLAS — The Dallas Stars announced Thursday it had signed Jake "Otter" Oettinger to a new eight year, $66 million contract extension with an average annual value (AAV) of $8.25 million.
The new extension begins in the 2025-26 season and runs through the 2032-33 season, the team said in a release.
Oettinger, 25, has posted a 116-48-23 record in 196 regular-season games played with a .914 save percentage, a 2.49 goals-against average and 11 shutouts. His playoff record is 23-22 while helping lead the team to back-to-back Western Conference Final appearances.
"Jake has established himself as one of the elite goaltenders in the NHL,” Dallas Stars General Manager Jim Nill said. “His unique blend of poise, size, athleticism, and mental toughness has helped our team reach new heights since he’s taken over the net. He is an integral part of our core that will allow us to contend for the Stanley Cup this season, but also for many years to come. Off the ice, Jake is a leader in our team’s community efforts and is always willing to give his time and resources. I’m pleased that Jake and his wife Kennedi will be part of our family for many years to come.”
Through three starts this season, Oettinger is 3-0-0 with a .948 save percentage, 1.63 goals against average and one shutout.
Oettinger, a native of Lakeville, Minn., played three seasons at Boston University, posting a 58-40-11 record with a .923 save percentage and was drafted by the Dallas Stars 26th overall in the 2017 NHL Draft. He played two seasons with Dallas' AHL franchise, the Texas Stars, before being called up in 2019.
Oettinger was named to his first NHL All-Star team last season.
