Casey DeSmith Picks Up Another Win On Monday
4 years agoPittsburgh Penguins goaltender Casey DeSmith stopped 19 of 20 shots against to help propel his team to a 2-1 victory over the New York Islanders on Monday. Filling in for starting netminder Tristan Jarry, who was forced to depart due to injury after the opening frame, DeSmith preserved a lead to earn a full two points against a strong divisional rival. With the solid performance, DeSmith continued what has been a phenomenal month of play for the 29-year-old netminder - recording a 0.89 goals-against average and a .969 save percentage in six appearances in March. While it's unknown how long Jarry might be sidelined with his current injury, DeSmith (35% owned in Yahoo! leagues) should be considered a priority-pickup for the time being.
