Takes loss in relief DeSmith stopped 13 of 14 shots in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Canadiens.
Impact DeSmith took over in the second period after Tristan Jarry allowed four goals in the opening frame. DeSmith was sharp, holding Montreal off the board in the second while Pittsburgh scored twice to tie the game 4-4. However, the 31-year-old netminder allowed an Anthony Richard goal early in the third period before the Habs added an empty-netter, sticking him with a 6-4 loss. DeSmith has played well of late, going 3-2-0 with a .932 save percentage over his last six appearances. He's now 13-14-4 with a .908 save percentage on the season.

Facing Flyers DeSmith will get the home start versus Philadelphia on Saturday, Penguins radio play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.
Impact DeSmith came on in relief of Tristan Jarry on Tuesday and stopped all 15 shots as the Penguins came back to defeat Columbus 5-4. He is 12-13-4 with a 3.22 GAA and .906 save percentage this season. DeSmith will face the Flyers, who have lost six of their last seven games.

Picks up OT win in relief DeSmith turned aside all 15 shots he faced in regulation and overtime after replacing Tristan Jarry early in the second period of Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Blue Jackets.
Impact Pittsburgh was in a 4-0 hole when DeSmith entered the game, but the switch in net galvanized the team and led to a huge comeback victory. The 31-year-old netminder certainly did his part, and since the All-Star break he's 5-3-0 in nine appearances with a 2.84 GAA and .918 save percentage. The Pens would like Jarry to reclaim the No. 1 role, but as long as he keeps struggling, DeSmith should see consistent action as part of a timeshare.

Solid in loss DeSmith made 38 saves Saturday in a 4-1 loss to Florida.
Impact DeSmith played a solid game. The game was 2-1 until the 19:50 mark of the second, when Eutu Luostarinen jammed in a rebound in the crease. The momentum swung to the Panthers at that point, and Sergei Bobrovsky dazzled in the win. DeSmith played Saturday because Tristan Jarry was under the weather. He will return to his spot on the bench and probably won't see more than a start every week-and-a-half with the Pens just three points up on the Sabres and Panthers for the final Wild Card spot.

Gets plenty of support in win DeSmith kicked out 26 of 29 shots in a 7-3 win over Tampa Bay on Sunday.
Impact DeSmith allowed two goals on eight shots in the first period. Pittsburgh was down 2-1 after that frame, but the Penguins rallied in the second with six goals, which was more than enough to hand DeSmith the victory. He has an 11-12-4 record, 3.27 GAA and .904 save percentage in 29 contests this season. The 31-year-old was 3-2-0 with a 2.95 GAA and a .918 save percentage over his previous six contests.

Guarding cage Sunday DeSmith will get the starting nod at home Sunday against the Lightning.
Impact DeSmith will get his first start since Feb. 17, when he was tagged with five goals on 28 shots against the Islanders. On the year, the 31-year-old has registered a 3.28 GAA with a 10-12-4 record through 28 appearances. He's been worse at home, though, with a 3.86 GAA and an .896 save percentage in 10 games.

Nearly perfect in relief DeSmith was forced into relief duty Thursday, setting aside 14 of 15 shots in a 7-2 loss to the Oilers.
Impact The Penguins were a mess defensively, but DeSmith -- who played the final period -- largely stopped the bleeding after starter Tristan Jarry saw the puck go past him six times on 29 shots. DeSmith had the unenviable task of trying to stop Connor McDavid's penalty shot, and the league's top skater easily won the battle. Since Jarry started the last two games following a month-long absence from an upper-body injury, the Penguins may call on DeSmith for Saturday's road clash against the Blues.

Fades late against Isles DeSmith stopped 23 shots in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Islanders.
Impact The Penguins took a 4-2 lead with just over a minute left in the second period, but DeSmith watched it slip away down the stretch on two deflected pucks and a Brock Nelson power-play tally. The 31-year-old netminder has started eight straight games with Tristan Jarry (upper body) on the shelf, going 4-3-1 with a 3.46 GAA and .904 save percentage, but with Jarry poised to return soon, DeSmith should return to backup duties.

DeSmith will take on the lowest scoring team in the NHL, as the Ducks are averaging 2.44 goals per contest.
