DeSmith made 21 saves in a 1-0 loss to Columbus on Thursday.

DeSmith did his part, as he was almost perfect, and the Stars had more scoring chances than the Blue Jackets by a wide margin. Unfortunately, his team faced strong goaltending by Jet Greaves, who delivered a standout performance in the other net. DeSmith has lost two straight games in regulation, but he allowed just three goals total in that span. Overall, he is 10-4-5 with a 2.39 GAA and .913 save percentage in 19 starts this season.
