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).
