Stars' Casey DeSmith: 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.
Once the game turned into a blowout in the second period, head coach Pete DeBoer turned to DeSmith 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.

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

Stars' Casey DeSmith: Starting Saturday
DeSmith will patrol the home blue paint versus Utah on Saturday, according to Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine.
DeSmith is a perfect 2-0-0 versus Utah this season, giving up only three goals on 63 shots. He is 14-7-2 with a pair of shutouts, a 2.53 GAA and a .916 save percentage in 25 appearances this season. Utah is 22nd in NHL scoring, generating 2.87 goals per game.

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

Stars' Casey DeSmith: 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.
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.

Stars' Casey DeSmith: 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.
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.

DeSmith will get the nod against his former team in the first half of the Stars' back-to-back. The 33-year-old netminder has gone 14-6-1 with a 2.30 GAA and an impressive .922 save percentage in 23 appearances this season. Pittsburgh sits 19th in the league with 2.91 goals per game in 2024-25.

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

Stars' Casey DeSmith: Between pipes against Seattle
DeSmith will defend the road crease against Seattle on Monday, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.
DeSmith has seen limited playing time since the 4 Nations Face-Off break, but he'll tend the twine for the second time in the Stars' last three games Monday. Over four starts this month, he's gone 3-0-1 with a 1.96 GAA and .942 save percentage.

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

The game had a real postseason vibe right from the start. DeSmith was outstanding, keeping his team in the contest for long stretches. He's 12-6-1 with a 2.39 GAA and a .916 save percentage. DeSmith is having a career year. You need to put him in your net every time Dallas relies on him in theirs.

Stars' Casey DeSmith: 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.
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.

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

Stars' Casey DeSmith: Tending twine Sunday
DeSmith will serve as the starting goaltender for Sunday's road game against Vancouver, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.
DeSmith has started in just one of the Stars' last seven games, but he's been productive in limited action in recent months. 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.

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

Stars' Casey DeSmith: Set to start Tuesday
DeSmith will tend the home twine against the Devils on Tuesday, according to Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine.
DeSmith posted a perfect 3-0-0 record, .911 save percentage and 2.68 GAA over three appearances in February. The Devils are 5-5-0 in their last 10 games and are tied for 14th in the NHL with 2.98 goals per game this season. New Jersey might be without Jack Hughes (undisclosed) on Tuesday -- the 23-year-old center was injured Sunday against the Golden Knights.

Stars' Casey DeSmith: Steals game against Devils
DeSmith made 31 saves in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Devils.
The Devils were all over the Stars, but DeSmith kept the proverbial hounds at bay. After the game, coach Pete DeBoer was effusive in his praise: "I loved our goalie. He was our best player tonight, and we needed him to be." Since Dec. 1, DeSmith has been elite -- he's 8-2-0 with a .925 save percentage, a 2.25 GAA and one shutout. He makes for a great option in dailies whenever he's in the blue paint.

Stars' Casey DeSmith: Set to start Saturday
DeSmith is expected to start on the road against New Jersey on Saturday, per Mike Heika of the Stars' official site.
DeSmith has a 9-6-0 record, 2.50 GAA and .911 save percentage in 17 appearances in 2024-25. He's won his past three starts while saving 84 of 90 shots (.933 save percentage). New Jersey ranks 13th in goals per game with 3.05.

Stars' Casey DeSmith: Overcomes slow start
DeSmith stopped 24 of 27 shots in Saturday's 8-3 win over the Sharks.
DeSmith won his third straight start, but it didn't begin on a positive note. He allowed two goals in the first 2:46 before the Stars' offense scored the next seven tallies. 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.
