With two first round selections, Dallas first took defenseman Miro Heiskanen with the third overall pick, then they traded up three spots from No. 29 to No. 26 and took Oettinger with that pick. With their second rounder, No. 39 overall, the Stars selected winger Jason Robertson.

With the Dallas Stars facing elimination in Game 5 of the Western Conference Final, goaltender Jake Oettinger surrendered two goals on the Edmonton Oilers' first two shots of the contest. As a result, Stars coach Pete DeBoer made the decision to pull Oettinger just 7:09 into the game in favor of backup Casey DeSmith.

Jake Oettinger says he will use the experience of Stars coach Peter DeBoer's quick hook to become a better person and a better goalie.
