Snaps five-game losing streak DeSmith made 22 saves in a 6-5 win over Toronto on Monday.

Impact The game was a see-saw affair, with the Leafs up 3-0 heading into the first intermission and 5-2 early in the third after two goals in a 2:39 span early in the third. DeSmith ended a personal five-game losing streak (0-4-1). Dallas plays in Buffalo on Wednesday, and Jake Oettinger could get a rest heading into the postseason. That means DeSmith would be the first man off the ice at the game-day skate.

Poised to start Monday DeSmith is expected to defend the road net against Toronto on Monday, per Mark Masters of TSN.

Impact DeSmith has gone 0-4-1 in his last five outings, allowing 12 goals on 121 shots. He has a 14-8-6 record this campaign with one shutout, a 2.34 GAA and a .910 save percentage across 29 appearances. Toronto ranks 16th in the league with 3.08 goals per game this season.

Takes tough loss against Avs DeSmith stopped 20 of 21 shots in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Colorado, with the Avalanche's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

Impact DeSmith and Scott Wedgewood were locked in a scoreless goaltending duel for 50-plus minutes, until Martin Necas tapped home a slick pass from Artturi Lehkonen midway through the third period. DeSmith has been playing well over the last few weeks but hasn't gotten much offensive support, posting a 2.61 GAA and .901 save percentage over his last five outings but going 0-4-1 as the Stars have averaged just 2.0 goals in those contests.

Tending twine Saturday DeSmith will patrol the home crease in Saturday's game against the Avalanche, per Robert Tiffin of D Magazine.

Impact DeSmith will look to get back on track in Saturday's clash after losing each of his last four appearances. Overall, the 34-year-old netminder has a 14-7-6 record, a 2.38 GAA and a .909 save percentage across 28 outings this season. He'll have his work cut out for him Saturday against the Avalanche, who currently lead the NHL with 3.78 goals per game this season. DeSmith should be extra motivated in the contest, however, as he is just one win shy of tying his career high of 15, which he has posted twice across his eight-year NHL career.

Plays well in overtime loss DeSmith stopped 28 of 30 shots in Sunday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Flyers.

Impact DeSmith did his part, but the Stars' top players were held silent while the Flyers got goals from Travis Konecny and Trevor Zegras. The 34-year-old DeSmith has lost four straight outings, allowing 11 goals on 100 shots during that 0-3-1 span. For the season, he's down to 14-7-6 with a 2.38 GAA and a .909 save percentage even with the recent fade. Jake Oettinger will likely get the nod in Boston on Tuesday to close out the road trip, but DeSmith could pick up some playing time late in the campaign if the Stars get locked into the No. 2 spot in the Central Division, which is looking likely.

Facing Flyers DeSmith will guard the road goal against Philadelphia on Sunday, according to Mike Heika of the Stars' official site.

Impact DeSmith will get the second half of the Stars' back-to-back after Jake Oettinger played in Saturday's 6-3 win over Pittsburgh. The 34-year-old DeSmith has a 14-7-5 record this season with one shutout, a 2.40 GAA and .908 save percentage across 27 appearances. Philadelphia is tied for 23rd in the 2025-26 campaign with 2.85 goals per game.

Strong showing in relief DeSmith stopped 15 of 16 shots in relief in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Devils.

Impact DeSmith entered the game in the second period after Jake Oettinger allowed four goals on eight shots during the first 20 minutes of play. DeSmith has been slumping lately and has dropped his last three starts, a stretch in which he's posted a 3.51 GAA and an .871 save percentage. He's 3-3-0 with a 2.52 GAA and an ,891 save percentage in six outings since the Olympic break.

Solid showing on loss DeSmith turned aside 30 of 33 shots on net in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact DeSmith turned in a solid outing, but ultimately was handed the loss when he allowed the game-winning goal to Vegas' Reilly Smith late in the third period. With the loss, DeSmith now has a 14-6-5 record, a 2.42 GAA and a .907 save percentage across 26 appearances this season. Since the Olympic break, the 34-year-old netminder has posted a mixed bag of results with a 3-2-0 record, a 2.64 GAA and an .885 save percentage across five starts. With the Stars in the hunt to claim the No. 1 seed in the Central Division, Jake Oettinger will likely receive the majority of starts moving forward, which renders DeSmith to a spot start role in most fantasy formats.

Sunday starter DeSmith will be in net Sunday against the Golden Knights, Brien Rea of Victory+ reports.

Impact DeSmith will make just his second start in the last two weeks Sunday with the Stars on the second of a back-to-back. The last time he was in net didn't go too well as he was lit up for five goals on 21 shots by the Mammoth. The 34-year-old is 14-5-5 with a 2.40 GAA and a .907 save percentage on the season. The Golden Knights, Sunday's opponent, are also on the second of a back-to-back and have lost three games in a row.

Concedes five goals in loss DeSmith stopped 16 of 21 shots in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Mammoth. The sixth goal he allowed was an empty-netter.

Impact DeSmith was coming off several solid performances, but he took a step back Monday by posting a .762 save percentage on 21 shots faced -- his lowest mark of the season by a wide margin. Even though DeSmith has enjoyed a decent run of appearances of late, he remains the clear No. 2 option behind Jake Oettinger. The 34-year-old veteran is a trustworthy option every time he's called upon duty, though. He's gone 3-1-0 with a 2.52 GAA and an .875 save percentage in four starts since the Olympic break, although those numbers suffered a significant hit after Monday's loss.

Set to face Mammoth DeSmith was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports, indicating he will patrol the home crease against Utah on Monday.

Impact DeSmith has stopped 66 of the 73 shots he has faced during his four-game winning streak. He has a 14-4-5 record this campaign with one shutout, a 2.28 GAA and a .912 save percentage across 24 appearances. Utah is tied for 17th in the league with 3.10 goals per game this season.
