DeSmith stopped 26 of 32 shots in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
DeSmith had a three-goal lead to protect with a minute remaining in regulation, but he allowed one goal to Aatu Raty and two more to Pius Suter. Kiefer Sherwood completed the Canucks' comeback in overtime, sending DeSmith to a brutal defeat. He's now 2-1-1 over his last four games, but he's given up 13 goals on 155 shots in that span. He's alternating starts with Jake Oettinger down the stretch to keep Oettinger fresh for the playoffs. DeSmith is now 14-7-2 with a 2.53 GAA and a .916 save percentage across 25 appearances. Assuming the goalie rotation continues, DeSmith's next start is projected to be Saturday versus Utah.

DeSmith stopped 35 of 36 shots in Monday's 3-1 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
The Stars secured their sixth straight win, and DeSmith played a huge role in that outcome, as he was brilliant between the posts to give Jake Oettinger some much-needed rest. DeSmith has won four of his last five starts dating back to the beginning of March, going 4-0-1 with a 1.77 GAA and an outstanding .948 save percentage over that stretch. He's proven to be an excellent insurance policy to get a spot start here and there every time Oettinger needs a breather.

DeSmith stopped 46 of 48 shots in a 5-2 victory over the Flames on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
DeSmith is undefeated in regulation over his last eight appearances, going 7-0-1 with a 1.98 GAA, .938 save percentage and one shutout. Even with his strong run of form, the veteran netminder won't be supplanting Jake Oettinger as the NO. 1 option in Dallas anytime soon. DeSmith has reached the 15-win mark twice in his career and should be able to hit that mark again in 2024-25 before the campaign wraps up.
