Casey DeSmith Earns 11th Start On Thursday
4 years agoPittsburgh Penguins goaltender Casey DeSmith will make his 11th start of the campaign in Thursday's rematch with Buffalo. He will look to replicate Tristan Jarry, who beat Buffalo 5-2 on Wednesday with 26 saves. DeSmith has done very well as Jarry's backup, posting a 7-3-0 record for the season with a 2.11 goals-against average, a .919 save percentage and one shutout. The Sabres have lost a franchise-record 15 straight games, so this should be a routine win for DeSmith, who notched his lone shutout of the year against the same opposition in a 3-0 win on Mar. 13.
