DeSmith made 21 saves in a 4-3 overtime loss to Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

DeSmith was leading until 15:57 of the third when Dylan Larkin beat him, and then Larkin scored again 34 seconds into the overtime frame. The four goals were the most DeSmith has allowed since his first game of the season (Oct. 16; five goals). That's also the last time he lost in regulation -- he's 9-0-4 in 13 starts since, and his 2.33 GAA and .915 save percentage overall continue to shine. DeSmith is one of the NHL's best backups.

DeSmith will defend the road net against the Red Wings on Tuesday, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

DeSmith has won his last three outings while stopping 79 of the 86 shots he has faced. He has a 9-1-3 record this season with one shutout, a 2.20 GAA and a .920 save percentage through 13 appearances. Detroit ranks 13th in the league with 3.08 goals per game this year.

DeSmith stopped 22 of 25 shots in Friday's 8-3 win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

DeSmith picked up his third straight win, and he didn't have to work too hard for it. The Stars lead 4-1 after one period and kept rolling in the second before easing up in the third. DeSmith is now 9-1-3 with a 2.20 GAA and a .920 save percentage over 13 appearances this season. He's been among the best backup netminders in the league this year, though his playing time has often been little more than once per week. Jake Oettinger is likely to get the nod Sunday at home versus the Maple Leafs.

DeSmith will start Friday's road game against Anaheim, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

DeSmith will draw the start in the second half of a back-to-back set after Jake Oettinger tended the road twine in Thursday's win over San Jose. DeSmith has picked up wins in four of his last five starts, going 4-0-1 with a 2.00 GAA and .932 save percentage during that time. The Ducks have been a formidable opponent this year, as they rank second in the NHL with 3.44 goals per game.

DeSmith stopped 27 of 28 shots in Monday's 4-1 win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

DeSmith returned to the Stars' crease after sitting out the past two games in favor of Jake Oettinger, and he delivered a strong performance. The 34-year-old veteran has been putting up outstanding numbers this season, and this was his eighth straight outing with a save percentage of .900 or higher. Over that eight-game stretch, DeSmith has gone 6-0-2 with a .944 save percentage and a 1.61 GAA.

DeSmith will serve as the starting goaltender for Monday's home game against the Kings, Brien Rea of Victory+ reports.

EDGE Analysis

DeSmith has seen limited playing time recently, as Monday's start will be just his second in the Stars' last seven games. However, he's been effective when called upon, as he's gone 7-1-3 with a 2.23 GAA and .920 save percentage over 11 appearances this season. He'll draw a relatively favorable matchup Monday, as the Kings are scoring just 2.65 goals per game this season, which is the fifth-worst mark in the league.

DeSmith stopped 30 of 33 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

The Stars scored all four of their goals within the first five minutes of periods, but the Jets put up a good effort to battle back. DeSmith was able to fend them off in the end, and while he allowed three goals for the second start in a row, he's now won three of his last four outings. For the season, the 34-year-old is at a 7-1-3 record with a 2.23 GAA and a .920 save percentage over 11 starts. He won't displace Jake Oettinger from the No. 1 job when both are healthy, but DeSmith has been one of the more reliable backup netminders in the NHL this season. Look for Oettinger to get the nod Thursday in Minnesota.

DeSmith will be in goal Tuesday in Winnipeg, per Mike Heika of the Stars' official site.

EDGE Analysis

DeSmith hasn't lost in regulation since Oct. 16, and he's 5-0-2 with a 1.68 GAA and a .940 save percentage over his last seven outings. The 34-year-old has served as an excellent backup to Jake Oettinger this season, and DeSmith will look to continue his success against a struggling Winnipeg team -- the Jets are 2-6-1 in their last nine games and have lost three of their past four.

DeSmith stopped 38 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

New York outshot the Stars 41-26, but DeSmith was in position for the win until Will Cuylle snuck a rebound past him with just over two minutes left in the third period to tie it up. DeSmith then gave up a rebound early into overtime that went right to Vladislav Gavrikov's stick for the game-winner. The veteran backup still hasn't taken a regulation loss since his first start of the season, Oct. 16, going 6-0-3 over his last nine outings with a dazzling 1.84 GAA and .933 save percentage.

DeSmith will tend the road twine Tuesday versus the Rangers, per Peter Baugh of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

DeSmith has been excellent lately, going 5-0-1 with a 1.46 GAA and a .943 save percentage across his last six appearances. The veteran netminder has allowed just three combined goals on 44 shots in back-to-back wins over Seattle and Ottawa. The Rangers are coming off a 4-1 loss to the Lightning on Saturday and have underwhelmed at home this season (2-8-1).
