Casey DeSmith, the 33-year-old goaltender, is poised to make his debut for the Dallas Stars in their upcoming game against the Seattle Kraken. DeSmith, who signed a three-year, $3 million contract with the Stars this offseason, will be stepping in as the backup to Jake Oettinger.

DeSmith has a notable career background, having played for the Pittsburgh Penguins and Vancouver Canucks. Last season with the Canucks, he posted a 2.89 goals-against average in 29 regular-season games. His experience in the NHL and AHL, including his time with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, has prepared him well for this new role.

The Stars are looking to DeSmith to bring stability and depth to their goaltending position. His performance will be closely watched, especially given his relatively low roster percentage in fantasy hockey leagues, currently at 2% on Yahoo and 12% on Fantrax.

DeSmith’s debut is significant not only for him but also for the Stars, who are aiming to start the season strong. The game against the Kraken will be an important test for both DeSmith and the team’s overall strategy.

As the Stars prepare for this matchup, fans are eager to see how DeSmith will perform in his new role. His ability to make crucial saves and manage the game will be key factors in determining the outcome of the game.
