The NHL's 4 Nations Face-Off in February is generating excitement among players, particularly for Dallas Stars goalie Jake Oettinger. As a Minnesota native, Oettinger aims to solidify his status as one of the top American-born goalies, with hopes of being selected for Team USA in both the tournament and the 2026 Winter Olympics.

In a recent matchup against Winnipeg Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck, Oettinger showcased his skills, allowing just one goal on 27 shots, leading the Stars to a 3-1 victory. His performance, coupled with a strong season record, positions him well for national team consideration.
