Dallas Stars goaltender Casey DeSmith stopped all 33 shots he faced en route to defeating the St. Louis Blues on Saturday evening. The Stars were heavily outshot in this contest, but DeSmith was able to lead the way.

Dallas has hit a bit of skid lately, but the team will rebound soon enough. And that will put DeSmith back into a strong fantasy role for spot starts in daily.
