Allows two goals in win DeSmith saved 24 of 26 shots in Monday's 3-2 win over Utah.

Impact DeSmith has allowed just three goals on 69 shots over three appearances in December. The 33-year-old's workload remains light as backup to an elite netminder in Jake Oettinger, but DeSmith has put a shaky November behind him. For the year, he's 4-4-0 with a 2.41 GAA and a .910 save percentage over 10 appearances (eight starts). The Stars don't have any back-to-backs over the next week, so DeSmith may have to wait a while for his next outing.

Tending twine versus Utah DeSmith will be between the road pipes for Monday's game against Utah, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

Impact The Stars are playing their final game before the Christmas break Monday, and DeSmith will draw his first start since Dec. 2, which also came against Utah. He turned aside 36 of 37 shots (.973 save percentage) en route to the win in that start, and he'll attempt to remain effective against Utah on Monday.

Needed in relief Wednesday DeSmith stopped all six shots he faced after replacing Jake Oettinger to begin the third period of Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.

Impact The veteran backup hasn't gotten a start since Dec. 2, but DeSmith was sharp on the handful of chances he saw Wednesday after he entered the game with the Stars down 4-2. On the season, he's 3-4-0 in nine outings with a 2.47 GAA and .909 save percentage, and while he won't challenge Oettinger for the top job in the crease, he could see more frequent action in the short term if Stars coach Peter DeBoer decides his No. 1 needs more rest.

Available for Monday DeSmith (illness) is expected to be available for Monday's home game against Washington, according to Owen Newkirk of DLLS Sports.

Impact Magnus Hellberg was the backup goalie behind Jake Oettinger in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over St. Louis due to DeSmith's absence. Hellberg and Lian Bichsel were assigned to AHL Texas on Sunday, but only Bichsel returned to the NHL level ahead of Monday's matchup versus the Capitals. As a result, DeSmith should be available to return to the lineup. Dallas hasn't named a starting goaltender yet for the game.

Unavailable Saturday DeSmith is set to miss Saturday's game against St. Louis because of the flu, per Lou Korac of The Hockey News.

Impact DeSmith has a 3-4-0 record, 2.57 GAA and .906 save percentage in eight appearances in 2024-25. Jake Oettinger is expected to start Saturday, and Magnus Hellberg was recalled from AHL Texas to serve as Oettinger's understudy.

DECEMBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Misses practice Friday DeSmith didn't participate in Friday's practice session due to the flu, Brian Rea of FanDuel Sports Network Southwest reports.

Impact The 33-year-old has seen minimal playing time behind Jake Oettinger to begin the regular season, but it's not yet clear whether DeSmith will be able to dress for Saturday's home game against the Blues. It doesn't seem as though DeSmith will face a long-term absence, but if he's unavailable Saturday, the Stars will likely need to call up another netminder, presumably to serve in a backup capacity.

Shines in win over Utah DeSmith stopped 34 of 35 shots in Monday's 2-1 win over Utah.

Impact DeSmith looked well on his way to posting a shutout, but he allowed Nick Schmaltz to score a third-period goal, which ended his dreams of going unbeaten for the second time this season. Still, the 33-year-old delivered his best game of the campaign and lifted Dallas to victory in a game where the offense wasn't clicking. This was DeSmith's third win of the season -- and first since Oct. 24. Through eight appearances, the veteran has gone 3-4-0 with a 2.57 GAA and a .905 save percentage.

Tending twine against Utah DeSmith will be between the road pipes against Utah on Monday, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

Impact DeSmith has had limited playing time in recent weeks, as Monday's start will be just his third over the Stars' last 11 games. Across his seven appearances this season, he's recorded a 2-4-0 record, 2.81 GAA and .891 save percentage.

DECEMBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Woeful showing Wednesday DeSmith stopped 20 of 26 shots in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Blackhawks.

Impact DeSmith made his fourth appearance since the beginning of November but was subpar once again, giving up six goals against one of the worst offenses in the entire league. DeSmith has dropped his last two starts, against the Ducks and Blackhawks, while stopping just 43 of 53 shots in the process. He's not expected to make another start until Jake Oettinger needs a day off.

Starting against Chicago DeSmith will be the starting goaltender for Wednesday's road game against Chicago, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

Impact DeSmith has appeared in just three games since the start of November, but he'll be between the pipes on the road Wednesday against the Blackhawks, who have averaged just 2.33 goals per game to begin the season, which is the second-worst mark in the league. Over six appearances this year, DeSmith has gone 2-3-0 with a 2.22 GAA and .914 save percentage.

NOVEMBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Gives up four goals Monday DeSmith stopped 23 of 27 shots in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Ducks.

Impact DeSmith made his first start since Nov. 2 and had a disappointing performance, allowing a season-high mark in goals and posting the worst save percentage of any game in his previous five starts. In six outings this season, DeSmith has gone 2-3-0 with a 2.22 GAA and a .914 save percentage, but he's not expected to see many opportunities as the backup of Jake Oettinger.

Gets starting nod Monday DeSmith will be between the pipes at home versus Anaheim on Monday, Brian Rea of FanDuel Sports Network Southwest reports.

Impact DeSmith will get the surprise start after No. 1 Jake Oettinger was working in the starter's crease at Monday's game-day skate. It's the first start for the 33-year-old DeSmith since Nov. 2 against the Panthers, with his only other appearance during November having come in relief. On the year, DeSmith is 2-2-1 while sporting a career-best 1.79 GAA but shouldn't be expected to see a ton of opportunities this year behind the workhorse Oettinger.

NOVEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Perfect in relief DeSmith stopped all 10 shots he faced in relief of Jake Oettinger in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Jets.

Impact The Jets did all their damage in the first half of the game, and they didn't test DeSmith much over the last 30-plus minutes after the Stars made the change in net. This was DeSmith's fifth outing of the year, and he's posted a 1.79 GAA and .929 save percentage. He's still not expected to play much, but he could push for a larger role if Oettinger continues to struggle against tough opponents. DeSmith has often started about once a week so far anyway, in an effort to keep Oettinger fresh in the starting role.

Loses, but worthy daily play DeSmith made 21 saves in a 4-2 loss to Florida on Saturday at the Global Series Finland.

Impact He allowed three goals. DeSmith doesn't get a lot of starts, but he shines when he's in net. His 2.03 GAA and .922 save percentage are exactly the kind of stats that will help you off the bench. Sometimes spots starts with a guy like DeSmith are a better option than a starter who's struggling so far this season.

Starting in Finland DeSmith will defend the visiting crease versus Florida in Finland on Saturday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

Impact DeSmith has been a terrific backup thus far the Stars as he is 2-1-0, allowing five goals on 78 shots in three appearances. The 33-year-old netminder will face the Panthers, who toppled the Stars 6-4 on Friday.

NOVEMBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Big win in Beantown DeSmith made 25 saves in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Bruins.

Impact The veteran netminder was beaten twice from in close after Dallas defenders coughed up the puck behind their own net, but DeSmith got plenty of offensive support to make up for it. He's no threat to Jake Oettinger in the No. 1 role, but DeSmith has been a strong backup to begin the season, going 2-1-0 with a 1.69 GAA and .936 save percentage in three starts.
