Casey DeSmith News

DeSmith allowed two goals on 22 shots in the Penguins loss in Washington on Wednesday. DeSmith played well again, but couldn’t come away with the victory. DeSmith has a 2.22 GAA, .929 SV% and one shutout in eight appearances this season.

DeSmith allowed one goal on 12 shots after replacing Matt Murray in the Penguins loss to the Devils on Monday. With Murray struggling mightily, DeSmith will get a shot to improve on his 2.25 GAA, .932 SV% and one shutout. He’ll face a Capitals team that has lost three of their last five, but still rank first in the NHL in goal-scoring (3.77 GF/PG).

DeSmith allowed three goals on 26 shots in the Penguins loss to Vancouver on October 16th. DeSmith went 1-0-2 with a 2.59 GAA and .922 SV% in three starts while Matt Murray was on the shelf with a concussion. Tonight he gets another crack at the Canucks and should have plenty of goal-support from a red-hot surrounding cast.

DeSmith allowed three goals on 40 shots in the Penguins shootout loss to the Canadiens on Saturday. Despite Matt Murray being healthy, DeSmith will make his third straight start tonight vs. the Canucks. DeSmith has picked up three of a possible four points in his two starts, stopping 72 of the 77 shots (.935 SV%) that he has faced.

DeSmith stopped 35 of 37 shots in the Penguins win over the Golden Knights on Thursday. DeSmith filled in admirably for Matt Murray, who was unavailable due to a concussion. Murray is healthy enough to dress tonight, but they will stick with DeSmith after a great performance versus Vegas.

DeSmith takes over as the Penguins starting goalie with Matt Murray sidelined with a concussion. The 27-year-old was in this position last year, going 6-4-1 with a 2.40 GAA and .921 SV%. DeSmith is a worthwhile pickup while Murray is out, but has a tough first matchup with the Golden Knights in town.

It’s the first start for DeSmith since March 14th when he allowed four goals on 33 shots in an overtime loss to the Rangers. Tristian Jarry was sent down to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AHL) on Monday, so DeSmith should continue to handle backup duties from here on out. He draws a strong matchup tonight against the Canadiens.

DeSmith allowed one goal on 18 shots in the Penguins win over the Stars on Sunday. After a few tough outings, DeSmith has settled in a bit recently, stopping 26 of the last 27 shots (.963 SV%) that he has faced. Tonight he faces the Rangers at Madison Square Garden and comes in at 1-2-0 with a 2.99 GAA and .909 SV% on the road.

DeSmith was pulled after allowing three goals on five shots in the Penguins blowout 8-4 loss in Boston on Thursday. Tristan Jarry started on Saturday, but it looks like DeSmith will be back in for the third time in four games. DeSmith has gone 2-2-0 with a 2.22 GAA and .926 SV% on home-ice this season.

DeSmith allowed three goals on 38 shots in the Penguins loss to the Devils on Tuesday. Despite the loss, it was a strong outing for the goaltender who just returned from the AHL. In eight appearances with the Penguins, DeSmith has a 2.35 GAA and .925 SV%, but draws a very tough matchup tonight in Boston.

DeSmith has spent most of the year in the AHL, but during his seven games in the NHL he has posted a 2.24 GAA and .926 SV%. With Matt Murray out with a concussion, DeSmith will get the Devils tonight. The 26-year-old has gone 16-8-1 with a 2.73 GAA and .910 SV% in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton this season.

DeSmith had an impressive run with the Penguins, winning three of his last five starts with a 2.03 GAA and .939 SV%. However, with Matt Murray back the Penguins likely want DeSmith to get some playing time so they’ve swapped him with Tristan Jarry, who has been getting playing time in the AHL for the last few weeks.
