In goal Thursday DeSmtih will get the starting nod on the road against Boston on Thursday, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

Impact DeSmith will be making his third appearance of the season, having posted a 1-1-0 record, 1.53 GAA and .941 save percentage in his prior two outings. Looking ahead, Jake Oettinger figures to get the nod versus Chicago at home Saturday before the duo split the Global Series matchups with the Panthers on Nov. 1 and 2. For his part, DeSmith saw action in 29 games last year but may not see quite as many opportunities in 2024-25 due to Oettinger being a workhorse No. 1.

Saddled with loss Desmith turned aside 24 of 27 shots faced during Thursday's 3-2 road loss to the Capitals.

Impact Desmith gets tagged with the Stars' first loss of the season. The 33-year-old will fall to 1-1-0 after logging a shutout in his first appearance and isn't likely to see a regular workload as long as Jake Oettinger - who signed an eight-year, $66 million extension on Thursday- is healthy and productive.

Capitals snap the Stars' season-opening winning streak at 4 with a 3-2 victory

Tom Wilson, Dylan Strome and Taylor Raddysh scored to help the Washington Capitals end the Dallas Stars’ season-opening winning streak at four with a 3-2 victory

OCTOBER 18, 2024 • Associated Press

Facing Capitals DeSmith was the first goaltender off the ice at morning skate, per Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press, and is expected to patrol the visiting crease in Washington on Thursday.

Impact DeSmith was perfect in his first start in a Dallas uniform Sunday, turning aside all 25 shots in a 2-0 victory over Seattle. DeSmith gave up two goals on 24 shots in his only appearance last season versus Washington, as a member of the Canucks. The Capitals have scored seven goals in two games this season, scoring twice on the power play in six opportunities.

Casey DeSmith shines as Stars blank Kraken Casey DeSmith made 25 saves in his Stars debut for his 11th career shutout as Dallas defeated the visiting Seattle Kraken 2-0 on Sunday nigh...

OCTOBER 14, 2024 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Secures shutout in Dallas debut DeSmith posted a 25-save shutout in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Kraken.

Impact DeSmith's first start with the Stars was perfect, as he was able to keep the Kraken off the scoresheet. Jake Oettinger has also played well to begin the campaign, so DeSmith is unlikely to get a chance to earn more starts than a typical backup. The Stars don't have any back-to-backs scheduled over the next week. While DeSmith has rarely had the opportunity to carve out large stretches of playing time, he has recorded no fewer than 11 wins in any of his last five NHL campaigns.

Starting Sunday DeSmith will guard the home net Sunday against the Kraken, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact With Jake Oettinger starting Saturday, DeSmith is in line to make his debut with the Stars against Seattle in the second leg of a back-to-back. The 33-year-old netminder is expected to backup Oettinger this season after going 12-9-6 with an .895 save percentage with Vancouver last season.

OCTOBER 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Guarding crease Sunday DeSmith will guard the road goal Sunday in preseason action versus Minnesota, according to the NHL media site.

Impact In two periods of work, DeSmith stopped 14 of 14 shots in a 2-1 exhibition victory over the Blues on Sept. 21. He posted a 12-9-8 record with a 2.89 GAA and an .895 save percentage over 29 regular-season appearances with Vancouver in 2023-24. DeSmith will occupy the backup role for the Stars in 2024-25 behind Jake Oettinger.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to start Saturday DeSmith is set to start for Saturday's preseason home game against St. Louis.

Impact DeSmith had a 12-9-6 record, 2.89 GAA and .895 save percentage in 29 regular-season contests with Vancouver in 2023-24. He signed a three-year, $3 million contract with the Stars over the summer and is expected to open the 2024-25 campaign as Jake Oettinger's understudy.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Signs three-year deal DeSmith signed a three-year, $3 million contract with the Stars on Monday, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.

Impact DeSmith had a 12-9-6 record, 2.89 GAA and .895 save percentage in 29 regular-season contests with the Canucks in 2023-24. He'll serve as Jake Oettinger's understudy in Dallas and is likely to be used somewhat sparingly so long as Oettinger remains healthy.

Canucks vs. Predators: Goalie Casey DeSmith is healthy again ... to back up? Casey DeSmith is apparently recovered from his lower-body injury.

APRIL 30, 2024 • THEPROVINCE.COM

Available to play DeSmith (lower body) will return to the lineup in Tuesday's Game 5 home matchup versus Nashville, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

Impact Per Batchelor, the starting goaltender for the Canucks will be a game-time decision. Due to the absences of DeSmith and Thatcher Demko (knee), Arturs Silovs made his NHL playoff debut in Game 4, stopping 27 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime victory over the Predators. If DeSmith doesn't start Tuesday, Silovs will probably be between the pipes.

Out Sunday DeSmith (undisclosed) will not be available for Game 4 against Nashville on Sunday, Rick Dhaliwal of CHEK television reports.

Impact DeSmith is dealing with a mystery injury but it's reportedly not related to the hit he took from Michael McCarron in Game 3. Arturs Silovs is expected to start Game 4 on Sunday. DeSmith stopped 41 of 45 shots in his two appearances this series and should be considered questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 matchup for the time being.
