Casey DeSmith

Casey DeSmith (born August 13, 1991) is an American professional ice hockey goaltender for the Dallas Stars of the National Hockey League (NHL). He holds the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins record for most saves in a playoff game. DeSmith was named to the AHL's 2016–17 All-Rookie Team and was a co-recipient of the 2017 Harry "Hap" Holmes Memorial Award.

Undrafted and regarded as undersized for a goaltender, he signed with the Wheeling Nailers, the ECHL affiliate of the Pittsburgh Penguins, in 2015 after his college career at the University of New Hampshire was halted due to legal problems. After performing well both in Wheeling and while being loaned to the American Hockey League's Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins later that season, he earned a promotion by signing an AHL contract in the summer of 2016.

After recording a league-best statistical performance 2016–17 AHL season, he signed a contract with Pittsburgh in July 2017, where he would play for the NHL squad for five of the next six seasons. DeSmith at first competed with Tristan Jarry and Matt Murray for NHL playing time; he spent the 2019–20 season in the AHL. He became a permanent part of the Penguins' goaltender rotation after Murray was traded in 2020. After being involved in two trades in the 2023 off-season, DeSmith played with the Vancouver Canucks in the 2023–24 season, signing with the Stars after the conclusion of his contract.
