Casey Desmith | Fantasy Outlook
DeSmith confirmed in net as Stars visit Avalanche in Denver
Casey DeSmith is confirmed between the pipes tonight as the Stars travel to Ball Arena to battle the Colorado Avalanche. Fantasy managers have jumped at this starting opportunity behind regular starter Jake Oettinger, driving DeSmith's start rate up eight percentage points to nine percent today. DeSmith looked steady in his lone appearance this season, stopping 24 of 26 shots for a .923 save percentage despite taking a tough loss. Dallas (2-3-1) enters the matchup as slight road underdogs in a projected higher-scoring environment, dueling Scott Wedgewood (unconfirmed) at the opposite end.
Our daily projections point toward a heavy workload for the veteran backup, expecting ~29 saves alongside an elevated goals-against average and a modest win chance against an explosive Colorado attack. While the projected shot volume offers valuable baseline fantasy points through saves, the tough matchup creates substantial risk for your rate statistics. Looking across this week's schedule, Dallas has three total games slated, leaving just one remaining contest after tonight where Oettinger is likely to retake the net. Because of the volume-ratio trade-off in an unfavorable environment, today’s action: Cautious Start.
