After spending his freshman year at Lakeville North High School, Oettinger committed to the USA Hockey National Team Development Program (USNTDP) Juniors for the 2014–15 season.[4] Oettinger played two seasons with the USNTDP Juniors while committing to Boston University. He was drafted in the first round, 26th overall, of the 2017 NHL Entry Draft by the Dallas Stars.[5]

On March 25, 2019, Oettinger signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Dallas Stars and was assigned to their AHL affiliate, the Texas Stars, on an amateur tryout contract.[10] Upon joining the Texas Stars, Oettinger recorded a .897 save percentage and a 3.34 goals-against average in his first eight games.[11] On March 3, 2020, he earned his first NHL call up as Ben Bishop dealt with a lower-body injury.[12] On September 8, 2020, he made his NHL debut in relief of Anton Khudobin in the third period of the second game of the 2020 Western Conference Final against the Vegas Golden Knights.[13]
