Stars' Oettinger sustains lower-body injury vs. Senators
Dallas Stars goaltender Jake Oettinger exited Friday's 5-4 win against the Ottawa Senators after sustaining a lower-body injury in the first period.
Oettinger appeared to hurt himself after the puck got stuck under his right skate when making a save on a Claude Giroux shot.
The netminder had allowed two goals on as many shots before stopping the shot that led to the injury.
Stars head coach Peter DeBoer said Oettinger won't travel to St. Louis for Saturday's contest against the Blues and will need to undergo more tests to determine the severity, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.
Oettinger, 24, had an 11-7-2 record and a .904 save percentage in 20 appearances coming into Friday's action.
Scott Wedgewood stopped 25 of 27 shots he faced in relief.
