Casey DeSmith - NHL News & Rumors

Gives up three goals Sunday DeSmith stopped 16 of 19 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over Chicago.

Impact DeSmith continues to play well and extended his winning streak to four games, posting a 1.75 GAA and stopping 66 of 73 shots faced over that span. Jake Oettinger remains the No. 1 option for the Stars between the posts, but don't be surprised if DeSmith earns more playing time based on how good he's been lately. His last defeat came Jan. 22 in a 1-0 loss to the Blue Jackets.

Starting against Chicago DeSmith will start Sunday's home game against Chicago, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

Impact DeSmith is in the midst of a three-game winning streak dating back to the end of January, and he's posted a 1.33 GAA and .926 save percentage during that time. The Blackhawks rank 27th in the NHL with 2.63 goals per game this year.

Cruises to win Tuesday DeSmith stopped 20 of 21 shots in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Flames.

Impact DeSmith has won his last three starts while allowing two or fewer goals each time. He's one of the best backups in the league, although the fact that the Stars are riding a 10-game winning streak makes his job a bit easier. DeSmith has posted a 1.33 GAA and a .926 save percentage in his three appearances during the Stars' ongoing winning run. That said, he should remain as the Stars' firm No. 2 option behind Jake Oettinger, so it's uncertain when he'll make another start.

Set for Tuesday start DeSmith will tend the twine for Tuesday's road tilt versus the Flames, Sam Nestler of DLLS Stars reports.

Impact DeSmith will take the second game of the Stars' back-to-back while Jake Oettinger features on the road against the Canucks on Monday. The 34-year-old DeSmith has allowed two or fewer goals in all but one of his last seven outings, but he has still been saddled with a 3-2-1 record.

Strong showing Wednesday DeSmith stopped 18 of 19 shots in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Kraken.

Impact DeSmith got the start Wednesday due to travel logistics, as Jake Oettinger was recently returning from the Winter Olympics. He responded well, but he's expected to return to his regular No. 2 role when the Stars take on the Predators on Saturday.

Set to start Wednesday DeSmith will patrol the home crease against Seattle on Wednesday, Brien Rea of Victory+ reports.

Impact Due to travel logistics, it's unclear if Jake Oettinger will serve as the backup or if the Stars will recall a netminder from AHL Texas. DeSmith has gone 11-4-5 this season with one shutout, a 2.37 GAA and a .911 save percentage through 21 appearances. Seattle sits 23rd in the league with 2.88 goals per game this campaign.

Light work in close win DeSmith stopped 12 of 14 shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Mammoth.

Impact DeSmith snapped a personal three-game skid with this win. He faced little traffic thanks to the Stars' strong defensive effort. DeSmith is up to 11-4-5 with a 2.37 GAA and a .911 save percentage over 21 appearances this season as he continues to play well in the backup role. The Stars are at home for their last two games before the Olympic break, facing the Jets on Monday and the Blues on Wednesday. Typically, we'd expect to see Jake Oettinger in both of those games, but the Stars may opt to give him rest for one of them ahead of his time with Team USA at the Olympics.

Sunk by Sharks in OT DeSmith stopped 26 shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to San Jose.

Impact The Stars took a 2-0 lead into the first intermission, but the refs made it tough for DeSmith to keep his team in front -- four of the Sharks' five goals were scored on power plays, including Tyler Toffoli's OT winner. The five goals were the most DeSmith had allowed since Oct. 16, and his numbers have begun to slip with a heavier workload. In nine outings since the beginning of December, the 34-year-old netminder is 4-1-3 with a 2.92 GAA and .902 save percentage.
