The Dallas Stars Goaltending Carousel | Jake Oettinger is BACK! Scott Wedgewood Injury in Chicago

Jake Oettinger returned from injury last Friday for the Dallas Stars and the next night, backup goalie Scott Wedgewood went down with an injury. Another player down in a key position that has not played up to standard this season. Today's episode of Locked On Stars begins with the discussion of Wedgewood's injury and how that effects the way Dallas may have to use Otter moving forward. Without Oettinger for a month, Wedgewood was one of the busiest goalies in the NHL and held the Stars in a division race. Now the Stars have to decide how much they want to use Otter who just returned from an injury that him out for almost a month. With the All-Star break right around the corner, the next seven games leave valuable points up for grabs. The break allows the Stars to reset and hopefully return fully healthy and ready for a playoff push. Joey looks ahead at the final seven games before the break and the expectations with their number one net-minder back. The defense which has been the core issue all season is holding on without Miro Heiskanen and they have to find a way to win games until he returns or they get help externally. The final segment takes a look at the Central Divison as the Stars make a push for the top seed. Dallas, Colorado and Winnipeg are top 10 in points in the NHL, and the Stars are only five points out of first place. Even during a stretch of not so good play and injuries in key spots, the Stars are right in the mix. Joey believes that is a good sign moving forward, but understands they need to make changes to reach their ultimate goal of a Stanley Cup.
