Stars' Casey DeSmith: Gives up three goals Sunday
DeSmith stopped 16 of 19 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over Chicago.
DeSmith continues to play well and extended his winning streak to four games, allowing seven goals on 73 shots faced over that span. Jake Oettinger remains the No. 1 option for the Stars between the pipes, but don't be surprised if DeSmith earns more playing time based on how good he's been lately. His last defeat came Jan. 22 in a 1-0 loss to the Blue Jackets.

Stars' Casey DeSmith: Starting against Chicago
DeSmith will start Sunday's home game against Chicago, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.
DeSmith is in the midst of a three-game winning streak dating back to the end of January, and he's posted a 1.33 GAA and .926 save percentage during that time. The Blackhawks rank 27th in the NHL with 2.63 goals per game this year.

Stars' Casey DeSmith: Cruises to win Tuesday
DeSmith stopped 20 of 21 shots in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Flames.
DeSmith has won his last three starts while allowing two or fewer goals each time. He's one of the best backups in the league, although the fact that the Stars are riding a 10-game winning streak makes his job a bit easier. DeSmith has posted a 1.33 GAA and a .926 save percentage in his three appearances during the Stars' ongoing winning run. That said, he should remain as the Stars' firm No. 2 option behind Jake Oettinger, so it's uncertain when he'll make another start.

Stars' Casey DeSmith: Set for Tuesday start
DeSmith will tend the twine for Tuesday's road game versus the Flames, Sam Nestler of DLLS Stars reports.
DeSmith will take the second game of the Stars' back-to-back while Jake Oettinger features on the road against the Canucks on Monday. The 34-year-old DeSmith has allowed two or fewer goals in all but one of his last seven outings, but he has still been saddled with a 3-2-1 record in that span.

Stars' Casey DeSmith: Strong showing Wednesday
DeSmith stopped 18 of 19 shots in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Kraken.

Stars' Casey DeSmith: Set to start Wednesday

Stars' Casey DeSmith: Light work in close win
DeSmith stopped 12 of 14 shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Mammoth.
DeSmith snapped a personal three-game skid with this win. He faced little traffic thanks to the Stars' strong defensive effort. DeSmith is up to 11-4-5 with a 2.37 GAA and a .911 save percentage over 21 appearances this season as he continues to play well in the backup role. The Stars are at home for their last two games before the Olympic break, facing the Jets on Monday and the Blues on Wednesday. Typically, we'd expect to see Jake Oettinger in both of those games, but the Stars may opt to give him rest for one of them ahead of his time with Team USA at the Olympics.

Stars' Casey DeSmith: Sunk by Sharks in OT
DeSmith stopped 26 shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to San Jose.
The Stars took a 2-0 lead into the first intermission, but the refs made it tough for DeSmith to keep his team in front -- four of the Sharks' five goals were scored on power plays, including Tyler Toffoli's OT winner. The five goals were the most DeSmith had allowed since Oct. 16, and his numbers have begun to slip with a heavier workload. In nine outings since the beginning of December, the 34-year-old netminder is 4-1-3 with a 2.92 GAA and .902 save percentage.

Stars' Casey DeSmith: Returns to action in relief
DeSmith halted 16 of 17 shots on net in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to Carolina.
DeSmith was called upon to make his return to the lineup from a personal matter earlier than expected, as he entered the game following the fifth goal of the night allowed by Jake Oettinger. DeSmith played well in the relief effort, as he gave up just one tally midway through the third period. Overall, the 34-year-old goalie still has a 9-2-4 record, but now holds a .913 save percentage and a 2.41 GAA over 16 appearances this season. Despite Oettinger's rough outing, he firmly holds the starting job over DeSmith, despite the latter's solid numbers on a solid volume of starts. Regardless, DeSmith remains one of the best backups in the NHL and provides excellent value as a spot starter in nearly all fantasy formats.
