Casey DeSmith News
Vancouver Canucks goaltender Casey DeSmith is not dressing for Game 4 of the team's first-round series against the Nashville Predators. The netminder's specific ailment hasn't been revealed but he was perhaps injured when Predators forward Michael McCarron hit him behind the net while he was playing the puck in the second period of Game 3. McCarron received a two-minute minor for interference on the play and was also fined 2K by the league. The 32-year-old turned aside 29 of 30 shots to earn the Game 3 win but it will be 23-year-old Arturs Silovs getting the nod in Game 4 on Sunday. The Canucks lead the best-of-seven series 2-1.
Vancouver Canucks goaltender Casey DeSmith is getting his fifth straight starting nod on Saturday against the visiting Calgary Flames. DeSmith has been thrown into the No. 1 spot with the Canucks due to a long-term injury to No. 1 netminder Thatcher Demko. The 32-year-old has risen to the challenge, allowing two goals or fewer in four of his last five starts, including a shutout on March 9 against the high-octane Vancouver Canucks. For the season, the veteran has put forth a 2.75 goals-against average and an .898 save percentage across 23 appearances (20 starts). The Canucks enter Saturday's action sitting in the top spot in the Western Conference with a 44-18-8 record.
Vancouver Canucks goaltender Casey DeSmith is the starting goaltender for Wednesday's contest versus the visiting Colorado Avalanche. The 32-year-old should be in for considerable action with Thatcher Demko listed as week to week with a lower-body injury. DeSmith has been mediocre this season as he sports a 2.85 goals-against average and an .898 save percentage in 19 starts, going 8-4-5 in the process. Nonetheless, his short-term fantasy value takes a major leap forward with Demko sidelined, although he is a risky streaming option on Wednesday as the Avs sit first in the league with 3.71 goals per game on the season.
Vancouver Canucks goaltender Casey Desmith will become the team's starting goaltender for as long as Thatcher Demko (undisclosed) is out. Demko is expected to miss 2-3 weeks, which happens to closely align with most of the fantasy playoffs. Managers who lost Demko and are lucky enough to still have Desmith on their waiver wire should grab him immediately. He won't post the .917 SV%, 2.47 GAA, or 18.3 GSAA that Demko has this year, but he could win some games and will get a heavy workload. He has already been confirmed as the starter for both Wednesday's game against Colorado and Saturday's game against Washington.
