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.

Over five starts dating back to Jan. 25, he's gone 5-0-0 with a 2.21 GAA and .927 save percentage. The Canucks are averaging 2.74 goals per game this year, which is tied for the sixth-worst mark in the NHL.

Fades late but still wins DeSmith stopped 25 of 28 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Devils.

Impact The Stars led 3-1 after the second period, but the Devils pulled themselves back into it. DeSmith didn't let them get ahead, and Thomas Harley scored with less than five seconds left in regulation to secure the victory, which was DeSmith's fifth in a row. In that span, the 33-year-old backup netminder has allowed just 11 goals. He's 11-6-0 with a 2.50 GAA and a .912 save percentage through 19 appearances this season. DeSmith has reached the 15-win mark twice in his career, but it doesn't seem likely he'll get enough playing time down the stretch to reach that mark again. Look for Jake Oettinger to start two of the next three games, while DeSmith should feature again during one of the two contests during a road back-to-back over the weekend.

DeSmith is now 9-6-0 with a 2.50 GAA and a .911 save percentage over 17 appearances this season. The Stars come out of the 4 Nations Face-Off break with a back-to-back, so DeSmith and Jake Oettinger are likely to split the starts in games versus the Devils on Feb. 22 and the Islanders on Feb. 23.
