Casey DeSmith - Page 5 - NHL News & Rumors

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.

Gets another win DeSmith stopped 35 of 36 shots in Monday's 3-1 win over the Kraken.

Impact The Stars secured their sixth straight win, and DeSmith played a huge role in that outcome, as he was brilliant between the posts to give Jake Oettinger a much-needed rest. DeSmith has won four of his last five starts dating back to the beginning of March, going 4-0-1 with a 1.77 GAA and an outstanding .948 save percentage over that stretch. He's proven to be an excellent insurance policy to get a spot start here and there every time Oettinger needs a breather.

Picks up another win DeSmith stopped 46 of 48 shots in a 5-2 victory over the Flames on Thursday.

Impact DeSmith is undefeated in regulation over his last eight appearances, going 7-0-1 with a 1.98 GAA, .938 save percentage and one shutout. Even with his strong run of form, the veteran netminder won't be supplanting Jake Oettinger as the NO. 1 option in Dallas anytime soon. DeSmith has reached the 15-win mark twice in his career and should be able to hit that mark again in 2024-25 before the campaign wraps up.

Between pipes against Tampa Bay DeSmith will serve as the starting netminder for Thursday's home game against the Lightning, Brien Rea of FanDuel Sports Network Southwest reports.

Impact DeSmith has seen sporadic playing time in recent weeks, but he's picked up wins in each of his last six starts while posting a 2.01 GAA and .931 save percentage during that time. He'll face a tough test against the Lightning, as they rank second in the league with 3.51 goals per game.

Defeats former team DeSmith stopped 22 of 23 shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.

Impact This was DeSmith's first game against his former team since he left the Canucks in free agency this past summer. The 33-year-old netminder was sharp against his old teammates, allowing just a Derek Forbort tally in the second period. DeSmith has won his last six games, allowing a total of 12 goals in that span. He's up to 12-6-0 with a 2.42 GAA and a .914 save percentage through 20 appearances this season. While DeSmith has been a steady backup, Jake Oettinger will still handle the bulk of the goaltending duties, which likely will include Friday's Central Division showdown on the road in Winnipeg.
