Casey DeSmith Draws Start On Monday
6 years agoPittsburgh Penguins goaltender Casey DeSmith will be in between the pipes as his team takes on the visiting Anaheim Ducks on Monday. The rookie netminder is coming off a sparkling performance against the Boston Bruins on Friday in which he allowed just three goals on 51 shots en route to his 10th victory of the season. With two-time Cup winner Matt Murray back to full health, it is not quite known who will come away with the starting job in Pittsburgh moving forward. However, DeSmith has surely made his case that he belongs in the role with a strong 2.46 goals-against average, .923 save percentage and two shutouts in 18 starts this season. He'll look to further strengthen his case on Monday.
