Falls to Calgary DeSmith allowed four goals on 38 shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Flames.

Impact After Vancouver took an early 1-0 lead, DeSmith surrendered four unanswered goals in the eventual 5-2 loss. It's the first regulation loss this season for the 32-year-old netminder -- he's now 4-1-1 with a .917 save percentage while backing up Thatcher Demko. While Demko should be back in net Saturday, the Canucks play four times next week, making it likely DeSmith will get at least one start.

DeSmith has won four of his six outings this season, allowing 14 goals on 167 shots for a .916 save percentage. The Flames have scored just three goals over their last two games, though they'll be the fresher team for Thursday's contest.

Sharp again in win DeSmith stopped 30 of 32 shots in Sunday's 5-2 win over Montreal.

Impact DeSmith held the Canadiens off the board for the first two periods before allowing a pair of tallies in the third en route to his fourth win in five starts. The veteran netminder has played well while backing up Thatcher Demko in his first season with Vancouver, as he improved to 4-0-1 with an impressive .922 save percentage to open the campaign.

Starting Sunday DeSmith will get the start Sunday on the road vs. Montreal, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports.

Impact Thatcher Demko will start Saturday vs. Toronto, with DeSmith getting the nod in the second leg of a back-to-back Sunday against the Canadiens. DeSmith was solid in his last outing, stopping 28 of 30 shots in a win over Ottawa. Overall, the 32-year-old goaltender is 3-0-1 with a .911 save percentage on the season.

Another strong outing DeSmith made 28 saves in a 5-2 win over the Senators on Thursday.

Impact DeSmith had little chance on either goal. Drake Batherson intercepted a clearing attempt by Canucks' defender Ian Cole, went in alone and deked on the forehand over DeSmith's glove to cut the score to 2-1 late in the first. Then Artem Zub's point shot deflected off Elias Pettersson midway through the second to knot the game 2-2. DeSmith still coughs up big rebounds, but he's been a good fit behind Thatcher Demko. He is 3-0-1 with a 2.82 GAA and .919 save percentage, and he's playing some of the best hockey of his career.

Facing Senators DeSmith will get the starting nod on the road in Ottawa on Thursday, according to Thomas Drance of The Athletic.

Impact DeSmith is 2-0-1 with a 3.06 GAA and .905 save percentage this season. The netminder is the backup to Thatcher Demko, who has been sensational this season. DeSmith will face the Senators, who are coming off a 6-3 win over the Maple Leafs on Wednesday.

Takes overtime loss DeSmith allowed four goals on 24 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Rangers.

Impact DeSmith and the Canucks had few answers for the Rangers' power play, which converted three times in regulation. This was the worst of DeSmith's four outings this season, and it also resulted in his first defeat (2-0-1). The 32-year-old netminder is likely to play no more than once per week as long as Thatcher Demko remains healthy and effective.

Slated to face Rangers DeSmith is the planned starter for Saturday's home game versus the Rangers, coach Rick Tocchet told Thomas Drance of The Athletic on Friday.

Impact Thatcher Demko will face the Blues at home Friday, so it makes sense that DeSmith is slated to serve in the second half of the back-to-back. DeSmith has a 2-0-0 record while stopping 75 of 81 shots (.926 save percentage) through three outings this year. The Rangers have a 5-2-0 record, but they've been mediocre offensively, averaging 3.00 goals per game.

Great addition to team DeSmith stopped 33 of 36 shots in a 5-3 win over Florida on Saturday.

Impact DeSmith has been a great addition to the Canucks, winning both of his starts. He has a 2.73 GAA through three appearances. With Vancouver playing so well this season, DeSmith is a strong fantasy play when he's in the blue paint.

OCTOBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Slated to start Saturday Per Thomas Drance of The Athletic, DeSmith was the first goaltender off the ice at morning practice, setting him up to be in the visiting crease versus Florida on Saturday.

Impact DeSmith is coming off a 37-save performance in a 4-3 victory over Edmonton on Oct. 14. This is his first season with the Canucks after spending the previous five with the Penguins. DeSmith posted a mark of 15-16-4 in 2022-23 with a 3.17 GAA and a .905 save percentage. He faces the Panthers team that only has 11 goals through four games.

Makes 37 saves in win DeSmith stopped 37 of 40 shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Oilers.

Impact Edmonton was aggressive early, but DeSmith was able to limit the damage to one goal in the first period. The Oilers tallied twice on the power play in the second, but the Canucks went ahead for good with Sam Lafferty's goal in the third. DeSmith got the nod with Thatcher Demko (illness) evidently not quite 100 percent. The 32-year-old DeSmith figures to hold down a backup role this year, though a performance like Saturday's could help him carve out a slightly larger share of playing time.

Set to start Saturday DeSmith is slated to start on the road against Edmonton on Saturday, per David Quadrelli of Canucks Army.

Impact DeSmith stopped all five shots he faced in 11:46 of ice time in Wednesday's 8-1 victory over the Oilers. He entered the contest in the third period because Thatcher Demko was dealing with an illness. DeSmith had a 15-16-4 record, 3.17 GAA and .905 save percentage in 38 contests last season.

Appears in relief DeSmith stopped all five shots he faced in relief of Thatcher Demko (illness) in Wednesday's 8-1 win over the Oilers.

Impact DeSmith played 11:46 in the third period after Demko left the game with a flu bug. This was likely a bit earlier than expected for DeSmith's Canucks debut, but he passed the test. He's set to serve in a backup role this year after posting a 3.17 GAA and a .905 save percentage in 38 appearances with the Penguins a year ago.
