Breaking down the Stars' 2025-26 roster: Managing goalie Jake Oettinger's workload is key Oettinger and Casey DeSmith return to Dallas after posting impressive numbers as a goalie tandem in 2024-25.

Facing St. Louis DeSmith will defend the road net against the Blues on Tuesday, per Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Impact As Jake Oettinger's backup in the 2024-25 regular season, DeSmith posted a 14-8-2 record with two shutouts, a 2.59 GAA and a .915 save percentage across 27 appearances. The 34-year-old DeSmith will occupy the same role this campaign.

Starting Thursday DeSmith will guard the road goal in Thursday's preseason game versus the Wild, per the NHL media site.

Impact DeSmith will get a look in preseason action on the road. The 34-year-old went 14-8-2 with a 2.59 GAA and a .915 save percentage over 27 regular-season appearances in 2024-25. He is set to serve as backup to Jake Oettinger this year.

Makes 17 saves in relief DeSmith stopped 17 of 20 shots in relief after replacing starter Jake Oettinger early in the first period of Thursday's 6-3 loss to Edmonton in Game 5 of the Western Conference Fin...

Impact This was DeSmith's first action since April 26 when he replaced Oettinger in Game 4 against the Avalanche in the Western Conference First Round. The Avalanche won 4-0, and DeSmith stopped 13 of 14 shots. DeSmith is a good goalie, but the whole team was rattled Thursday. And then he allowed a goal 58 seconds after taking the blue paint. Tough luck. DeSmith is signed for two more seasons at $1 million to back up Oettinger, and he will provide steady fantasy contributions in daily formats given the strength of the squad he plays behind.

Draws in for third period of loss DeSmith stopped 13 of 14 shots in relief of Jake Oettinger in Saturday's 4-0 loss to the Avalanche in Game 4.

Impact Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports Oettinger was just being rested after stopping 31 of 34 shots over the first two periods. DeSmith is therefore unlikely to see a substantial boost in playing time over the remainder of the Stars' postseason run. The 33-year-old did well in the backup role during the regular season with a 14-8-2 record, a 2.59 GAA and a .915 save percentage over 27 outings.

Makes relief appearance Wednesday DeSmith stopped all 12 shots he faced in relief of Jake Oettinger in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Predators.

Impact Once the game turned into a blowout in the second period, head coach Pete DeBoer turned to DeSmtih to play the final frame of the regular season. Barring an injury to Oettinger, this was likely DeSmith's last playing time for a while. DeSmith allowed 15 goals on 117 shots over his last four appearances as part of a larger seven-game losing streak for the Stars. Overall, DeSmith ends the season at a 14-8-2 record with a 2.59 GAA and a .915 save percentage across 27 appearances in his first year with the Stars.

Loses third straight outing DeSmith stopped 29 of 34 shots in Saturday's 5-3 loss to Utah.

Impact DeSmith is 0-2-1 with 15 goals allowed over his last three games, though he's faced at least 32 shots in each of his last six outings. The 33-year-old has also taken on a larger role as the Stars build in some rest for Jake Oettinger late in the regular season. DeSmith is down to 14-8-2 with a 2.63 GAA and a .913 save percentage over 26 outings. The Stars have two games left before the postseason -- look for DeSmith and Oettinger to split the starts between Monday's game in Detroit and Wednesday's game in Nashville.

Starting Saturday DeSmith will patrol the home blue paint versus Utah on Saturday, according to Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine.

Melts down in final minute DeSmith stopped 26 of 32 shots in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Canucks.

Impact DeSmith had a three-goal lead to protect with a minute remaining in regulation, but he allowed one goal to Aatu Raty and two more to Pius Suter. Kiefer Sherwood completed the Canucks' comeback in overtime, sending DeSmith to a brutal defeat. He's now 2-1-1 over his last four games, but he's given up 13 goals on 155 shots in that span. He's alternating starts with Jake Oettinger down the stretch to keep Oettinger fresh for the playoffs. DeSmith is now 14-7-2 with a 2.53 GAA and a .916 save percentage across 25 appearances. Assuming the goalie rotation continues, DeSmith's next start is projected to be Saturday versus Utah.

Slated starter against Vancouver DeSmith was the first netminder off at Tuesday's morning skate, according to Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine, which indicates he'll draw the starting nod versus the Canucks.

Impact DeSmith surrendered four goals on 39 shots in a 5-3 loss to Pittsburgh on Saturday. The veteran netminder holds a 14-7-1 record, .921 save percentage and 2.38 GAA over 24 appearances this season. The Canucks are tied for 21st in the league with 2.83 goals per game in 2024-25 and have dropped four of their last five games, so DeSmith has a chance to get back on the right track in this Western Conference tilt.

Fades late in Saturday's loss DeSmith stopped 35 of 39 shots in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Penguins, with Pittsburgh's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

Impact Dallas held a 3-2 lead early in the third period after Evgenii Dadonov completed his second career hat trick, but DeSmith couldn't make it hold up as the Pens out-shot the home squad 17-10 in the final frame. It was DeSmith's first regulation loss since Jan. 18, putting an end to an incredible stretch in which he'd gone 8-0-1 over nine starts with a 1.87 GAA and .943 save percentage.
