  • Stars' Casey DeSmith: Big win in Beantown

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

    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.

  • Stars' Casey DeSmith: In goal Thursday

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

    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.

  • Stars' Casey DeSmith: Saddled with loss

    DeSmith turned aside 23 of 26 shots faced during Thursday's 3-2 road loss to the Capitals.

    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 Thursday -- is healthy and productive.

  • Stars' Casey DeSmith: 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.

    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, so DeSmith will be hoping his teammates stay out of the box.

  • Stars' Casey DeSmith: Secures shutout in Dallas debut

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

    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.

  • Stars' Casey DeSmith: Starting Sunday

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

    With Jake Oettinger starting Saturday's home matchup versus the Islanders, DeSmith will make his Dallas debut against Seattle in the second leg of a back-to-back. After going 12-9-6 in 29 regular-season appearances with Vancouver in 2023-24, the 33-year-old DeSmith is expected to back up Oettinger this season.

  • Stars' Casey DeSmith: Guarding crease Sunday

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

    In two periods of work, DeSmith stopped all 14 shots he faced 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.

  • Stars' Casey DeSmith: Expected to start Saturday

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

    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.

  • Stars' Casey DeSmith: Signs three-year deal

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

    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' Casey DeSmith: 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.

    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.

  • Canucks' Casey DeSmith: Out Sunday

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

    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.

  • Canucks' Casey DeSmith: Steadfast in Game 3 win

    DeSmith denied 29 of 30 shots from the Predators on Friday, culminating in a 2-1 win to take Game 3.

    DeSmith emerged with his first career playoff victory, as he drew his second straight start in place of Thatcher Demko (undisclosed). While the Predators scored with 3:12 remaining in the third period, it wasn't quite enough to flip the script. DeSmith was laser focused while helping his team kill all four penalties, plus he worked against the grain of the Canucks' minus-18 shot differential. Demko has a week-to-week return timeline, meaning DeSmith will likely draw the Game 4 start in Nashville on Sunday.

  • Canucks' Casey DeSmith: In goal for Game 3

    DeSmith will start Game 3 on the road versus the Predators on Friday, Robby Stanley of NHL.com reports.

    DeSmith is now the Canucks' top goalie since Thatcher Demko (undisclosed) is considered week-to-week. DeSmith struggled in Game 2 on Tuesday, allowing three goals on 15 shots in a 4-1 loss. The 32-year-old will likely need a bit more goal support from his team, as well as a better performance from himself between the pipes, in order for the Canucks to have a chance to regain a series lead.

  • Canucks' Casey DeSmith: Takes loss Tuesday

    DeSmith allowed three goals on 15 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Predators in Game 2. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

    Thatcher Demko (undisclosed) was out of action, so it was DeSmith's turn in the crease for the Canucks. His first outing of the postseason was poor -- the Predators were opportunistic with their chances early on and successfully bunkered down in the third period to hold the lead. DeSmith was mediocre in the regular season with a 12-9-6 record, a 2.89 GAA and an .895 save percentage over 29 appearances. If Demko remains sidelined, DeSmith will likely need more help from the team in front of him in order to find success as the series shifts to Nashville for Game 3 on Friday and Game 4 on Sunday.

  • Canucks' Casey DeSmith: Tending twine in Game 2

    DeSmith will patrol the home crease Tuesday in Game 2 against Nashville, according to Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.

    DeSmith will get the nod after Thatcher Demko (undisclosed) was injured following Sunday's series-opening victory over the Predators. DeSmith filled in admirably as the Canucks' No. 1 netminder during the regular season when Demko was out due to a knee injury. The 32-year-old DeSmith posted a 12-9-6 record with a 2.89 GAA and an .895 save percentage in 29 appearances. He also stopped 26 shots in a 5-2 win over Nashville on Dec. 19.

  • Canucks' Casey DeSmith: Strong against Oilers

    DeSmith stopped 32 of 33 shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Oilers.

    DeSmith snapped his four-game losing streak with the victory, though he didn't have to contend with Connor McDavid (lower body). DeSmith improved to 12-9-6 on the year with a 2.89 GAA and an .895 save percentage through 29 appearances. The Canucks have two games left in the regular season -- Tuesday at home versus the Flames and Thursday in Winnipeg -- and Thatcher Demko (knee) could be ready for one or both of those games, which would relegate DeSmith to the backup role.

  • Canucks' Casey DeSmith: First off Saturday

    DeSmith was the first goaltender off the ice at the morning skate, per Thomas Drance of The Athletic, indicating he will defend the road net Saturday against Edmonton.

    DeSmith has allowed 17 goals on 111 shots for an .847 save percentage during his four-game losing streak. He has gone 11-9-6 this season with a 2.96 GAA and an .891 save percentage through 28 appearances. The Oilers rank fourth in the league this campaign with 3.58 goals per contest.

  • Canucks' Casey DeSmith: Set to face Kings

    DeSmith is expected to start on the road against LA on Saturday, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

    DeSmith will attempt to rebound after losing his past three outings while allowing 11 goals on 82 shots (.866 save percentage). He's 11-8-6 with a 2.84 GAA and an .895 save percentage across 27 appearances this season. DeSmith might have a somewhat challenging time ending his slump against the Kings after allowing three goals on 19 shots in a 3-2 loss to LA on March 25.

  • Canucks' Casey DeSmith: Loses again Saturday

    DeSmith gave up six goals on 29 shots in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Kings.

    DeSmith took his fourth straight loss, and this is the second time in a row he's given up six goals. The 32-year-old dropped to 11-9-6 with a 2.96 GAA and an .891 save percentage through 28 appearances. While he was steady in a backup role earlier in the year, he's struggled to replace Thatcher Demko (knee) over the last month. The good news for the Canucks is that Demko could be back as soon as Monday's game versus the Golden Knights, which would likely mean a reduced role for DeSmith heading into the final part of the regular season.
