Stars agree on long-term contract extension with goalkeeper Jake Oettinger

The Dallas Stars are ensuring their franchise goaltender remains long-term.

Jake Oettinger and the Stars agreed to an eight-year, $8.25 million cap extension to secure their No. 1 goaltender long-term.

It is the second major goaltending contract signed this month after Jeremy Swayman and the Boston Bruins agreed to an eight-year, $66 million contract before the start of the season.

Oettinger was entering the final year of his three-year contract that pays him $4 million per season. He would have been a restricted free agent this offseason.

“Jake has established himself as one of the elite goaltenders in the NHL,” general manager Jim Nill said in a statement. “His unique blend of poise, size, athleticism and mental toughness has helped our team reach new heights since he took over the net. He is an integral part of our core that will enable us to compete for the Stanley Cup this season and in the years to come.”

The 25-year-old is off to a great start this season, winning all three starts while posting a 1.63 goals-against average and .948 save percentage.

The Laveville, Minnesota native has a 116-48-23 record with a 2.49 goals-against average and .914 save percentage in 196 career games with the Stars.

Dallas selected Oettinger 26th overall in the 2017 NHL Draft.
