Casey DeSmith - NHL News & Rumors

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.

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.

Smith's late goal lifts Vegas past Dallas 3-2 and denies Stars' bid to clinch a playoff berth

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.

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.

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.

MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE

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.

FEBRUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

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.

FEBRUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

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.
