Tristan Jarry (foot) still lacks a timetable for his return, so it will be DeSmith leading the Penguins into the postseason after going 4-2-1 in his last seven starts with a 2.42 GAA and .933 save percentage. |

DeSmith stopped 39 shots in Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Hurricanes. - The 30-year-old played very well and looked like he might steal a win on the road for the Penguins, but the game got very chippy late and DeSmith had no chance on the OT winner in a 4-on-3 situation with Kris Letang in the penalty box. The netminder still hasn't been tagged with a regulation loss since late November, however, and while Tristan Jarry remains entrenched in the top spot on the depth chart, DeSmith has more than held his own with a 2.60 GAA and .917 save percentage over his last 10 appearances. |

DeSmith stopped 16 of 17 shots after replacing the ineffective Tristan Jarry in Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Devils. - DeSmith didn't factor into the decision and played less than half the game, but he was busy during his time in net. The only puck to elude him came off the stick of Nico Hischier in the third period on a New Jersey power play. Jarry's recent struggles could open the door for DeSmith to see more playing time in the near future. |

DeSmith stopped 23 shots in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Flyers. - It wasn't pretty, especially in the second period as DeSmith got beaten three times to give Philadelphia a 4-2 lead, but he stood tall in the third as Pittsburgh mounted a comeback and got rewarded when Kris Letang won it in OT. DeSmith hasn't taken a regulation loss since late November, going 5-0-1 in his last six starts, but his 3.11 GAA and .897 save percentage on the season keep him well behind Tristan Jarry on the Pens' depth chart. |

DeSmith will start between the pipes against Philadelphia at home Tuesday. - DeSmith is coming off a shutout win against Ottawa on Thursday. The 30-year-old has posted a 4-3-2 record with a 3.03 GAA and .901 save percentage over 11 appearances this season. The Flyers have gone 7-13-4 as visitors this season alongside an average of 29.7 shots on goal and 2.08 goals for, ranking 19th and 32nd, respectively. |

DeSmith will get the starting nod on the road against Ottawa on Thursday, Josh Getzoff of PensTV reports. - DeSmith has been pulled in two of his previous three contests but did put together a decent performance his last time out versus Detroit on Jan. 28. In that outing, the 30-year-old netminder gave up just two goals on 32 shots (.938 save percentage) before falling in the shootout. Given how busy Tristan Jarry has been this year, DeSmith is unlikely to see that many games heading into the rest of the season. |

DeSmith will guard the road goal during Friday's matchup with the Red Wings. - DeSmith struggled in his last start last Friday against Columbus, surrendering two goals on just 12 shots before being replaced by Tristan Jarry at the start of the second period of the eventual 5-2 victory. He'll try to get back in the win column in a favorable home matchup with a Detroit team that's gone 5-12-3 on the road this season. |

DeSmith stopped 10 of 12 shots before being replaced by Tristan Jarry to begin the second period of Friday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets. - There's been no word DeSmith suffered any kind of injury and the score was only tied 2-2 at the first intermission, but coach Mike Sullivan didn't like what he was seeing from the netminder and made the switch. After the game, Sullivan suggested DeSmith was put in a bad spot due to Louis Domingue's foot injury and probably wasn't ready for extended action after coming out of the COVID-19 protocols Thursday, Taylor Haase of DKPittsburghSports.com reports. Nonetheless, unless Pittsburgh makes a trade for a new backup goalie, DeSmith -- who has a rough 3.58 GAA and .886 save percentage -- is the only option the team has right now when Jarry needs a breather. |

DeSmith will guard the cage in Friday's road game against Columbus, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports. - DeSmith received the hook in his last outing and was pulled after stopping 13 of 16 shots in a 5-3 victory over St. Louis on Jan. 5. The 30-year-old has posted a 3-3-1 record with a 3.47 GAA and an .888 save percentage over eight appearances this season. The Blue Jackets have averaged 29.3 shots on goal and 3.44 goals for per game alongside an 11-6-1 record at home in 2021-22. |

DeSmith cleared COVID-19 protocols and practiced Wednesday, Wes Crosby of NHL.com reports. - DeSmith hasn't played since allowing three goals and being removed from Pittsburgh's Jan. 5 game versus St. Louis. The 30-year-old has a 3.47 GAA and .888 save percentage and should be Tristan Jarry's backup going forward. |

DeSmith was placed on the NHL's COVID-19 protocols list Monday, per Mike DeFabo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. - DeSmith has posted a 3-3-1 record with a 3.47 GAA and .888 save percentage this season. He will likely miss Tuesday's contest with Anaheim in the virus protocols, if not more. |

DeSmith was the first goalie to exit the ice at Wednesday's game-day skate, Pens Inside Scoop reports, indicating he'll be in goal versus the Blues. - DeSmith will be making consecutive starts for the first time this season, a result of Tristan Jarry's stint in the COVID-19 protocols. Considering the 30-year-old DeSmith has appeared in just seven games this year, in which he is 3-3-1 with a 3.33 GAA and one shutout, fantasy players should be expecting Jarry to reclaim his place as a workhorse No. 1 moving forward. |

DeSmith is the starting goalie Sunday against San Jose, Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. - It will be DeSmith's first game since Dec. 11, when he made 33 saves and shut out the Ducks. Through six starts in 2021, the 30-year-old has a 3.03 GAA and .905 save percentage. |

DeSmith will be between the pipes Saturday against visiting Anaheim, Josh Getzoff of PensTV reports. - Saturday will be DeSmith's fifth start since Oct. 28, as he's played quite sparingly behind workhorse starter Tristan Jarry. DeSmith was solid his last time out, turning aside 28 of 29 shots in a win over Seattle on Monday, so he'll look for more of the same against a Ducks team that sits 10th in the league with an average of 3.18 goals for. |

DeSmith will be in the road crease versus Seattle on Monday. - It will be just the fifth appearance of the season for DeSmith, who is 0-3-1 with a disappointing 4.32 GAA in those contests. With the recent run of form of Tristan Jarry, the 30-year-old DeSmith will likely continue to see infrequent starts, though an upcoming back-to-back Friday and Saturday verses the Capitals and Ducks, respectively, figures to give DeSmith another start right away. |

DeSmith stopped 28 of 31 shots in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Canadiens. - The score didn't reflect DeSmith's play, as Montreal's last three goals were all scored into an empty net in the final two minutes. The 30-year-old still remains without a win on the season, going 0-3-1 in four starts with a rough 4.32 GAA and .867 save percentage and giving the Penguins little incentive to lighten Tristan Jarry's workload. |

DeSmith will start against visiting Montreal on Saturday, Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. - DeSmith remains winless on the season, albeit in just three starts. He's played sparingly behind workhorse Tristan Jarry, who's been sensational with a 1.91 GAA and .936 save percentage in 17 appearances. Nonetheless, DeSmith will again shoot for win No. 1 against a Montreal squad that's averaged just 2.42 goals for in November. |
