Dallas Stars goaltender Jake Oettinger leaves game with injury early in the second against Rangers

The Dallas Stars against the New York Rangers has certainly been an eventful game in the early going. First Igor Shesterkin gets clipped and now, the stars have made a goaltending change.

According to Shayna of The Athletic Stars goaltender Jake Oettinget has left the game with an injury, just over 5 minutes into the second period.

It's not clear why Oettinger left, but he excited the game a 6:43 of the second period. Scott Wedgewood has taken his place in the Dallas net.

Oettinger, 23, has had a fantastic start to the season. I'm 6 games played this season, he has a 5-1 record with a 1.17 goals-against-average and a .960 save-percentage.

For his and the Stars sake, here's hoping it's just a tweak and nothing serious that will keep him out for an extended period of time.
