DeSmith is expected to start on the road against New Jersey on Saturday, per Mike Heika of the Stars' official site.

EDGE Analysis

DeSmith has a 9-6-0 record, 2.50 GAA and .911 save percentage in 17 appearances in 2024-25. He's won his past three starts while saving 84 of 90 shots (.933 save percentage). New Jersey ranks 13th in goals per game with 3.05.

DeSmith stopped 24 of 27 shots in Saturday's 8-3 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

DeSmith won his third straight start, but it didn't begin on a positive note. He allowed two goals in the first 2:46 before the Stars' offense scored the next seven tallies. DeSmith is now 9-6-0 with a 2.50 GAA and a .911 save percentage over 17 appearances this season. The Stars come out of the 4 Nations Face-Off break with a back-to-back, so DeSmith and Jake Oettinger are likely to split the starts in games versus the Devils on Feb. 22 and the Islanders on Feb. 23.

DeSmith is expected to start on the road against San Jose on Saturday, per Mike Heika of the Stars' official site.

EDGE Analysis

DeSmith has an 8-6-0 record, 2.46 GAA and .912 save percentage in 16 appearances in 2024-25. He's won his past two starts while stopping 60 of 63 shots (.952 save percentage). The Sharks rank 30th in goals per game with 2.59.

DeSmith stopped 27 of 30 shots in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

DeSmith got a rare start outside of a back-to-back set and took care of business against a high-scoring team. The game was even through two periods, but Evgenii Dadonov's two tallies in the third lifted the Stars to the win. DeSmith improved to 8-6-0 with a 2.46 GAA and a .912 save percentage over 16 appearances this season. The Stars will play their last three games before the 4 Nations Face-Off in California, including a back-to-back with contests Friday in Los Angeles and Saturday in San Jose, so it seems likely DeSmith will get one more start before the break.

DeSmith is expected to start at home against Columbus on Sunday, per Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine.

EDGE Analysis

DeSmith has a 7-6-0 record, 2.42 GAA and .913 save percentage in 15 appearances in 2024-25. He posted a 33-save shutout victory over St. Louis on Jan. 25. The Blue Jackets rank eighth in goals per game with 3.27.

DeSmith turned aside all 33 shots he faced in Saturday's 2-0 win over St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

Jake Oettinger's 33-year-old backup played like a starter, making some huge stops in the second period as the Blues tried to rally from an early 2-0 deficit. It was an impressive bounce-back effort from DeSmith after he coughed up six goals in his last outing, and on the season he's 7-6-0 with a 2.42 GAA, .913 save percentage and two shutouts, one short of his career high.

DeSmith is expected to start on the road against St. Louis on Saturday, according to Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine.

EDGE Analysis

DeSmith has lost his last two outings while allowing nine goals on 63 shots (.857 save percentage). He has a 6-6-0 record, 2.61 GAA and .905 save percentage in 14 appearances in 2024-25. The Blues rank 22nd in goals per game with 2.82.

DeSmith made 30 saves Saturday in a 6-3 loss to Colorado.

EDGE Analysis

DeSmith has surrendered nine goals in his last two starts, both losses, but before that, he had allowed just six goals in his previous four games, all wins. Dallas has hit a bit of a skid lately, but the team will rebound soon enough, which will put DeSmith back into a strong fantasy role for spot starts in daily.

DeSmith is set to start on the road against Colorado on Saturday, per Mike Heika of the Stars' official site.

EDGE Analysis

DeSmith has a 6-5-0 record, 2.32 GAA and .913 save percentage in 13 outings in 2024-25. He stopped 24 of 27 shots en route to a 3-2 loss to Ottawa on Sunday in his last start. Colorado is tied for seventh in the league with 3.30 goals per game this campaign.

DeSmith allowed three goals on 28 shots in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Ottawa scored twice in a span of 39 seconds in the second period and had no trouble protecting the lead from that point on. This ended DeSmith's run of winning four straight decisions, as well as his five-game streak of allowing two or fewer goals. The 33-year-old netminder is down to 6-5-0 with a 2.32 GAA and a .914 save percentage over 13 outings this season. Jake Oettinger will likely be back between the pipes for Tuesday's road-trip finale in Toronto. The Stars have a back-to-back next weekend -- at Colorado on Saturday and at home versus the Red Wings on Sunday -- so DeSmith shouldn't have to wait long for his next start.
