Stars' Casey DeSmith: Perfect in relief
Casey DeSmith stopped all 10 shots he faced in relief of Jake Oettinger in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Jets.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 Dallas Stars made the change in net. This was DeSmith's fifth outing of the year, and he's posted a 1.79 GAA and a .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.
