DeSmith will be looking to pick up his first win of the 2021-22 season in a milestone game Wednesday, as it is the five-year veteran's 100th career game played. The 15% rostered Pittsburgh backup sports a solid .913 SV% and 2.97 GAA in his three starts even though he holds a 0-2-1 record. He will face a hot Buffalo team who ranks second in the NHL in goals-for-per game with 4.1.

DeSmith will start Monday in Montreal.

DeSmith will likely get his first start of the season as the undefeated Penguins head to Montreal to take on the Canadiens on the road. The 31-year-old netminder enters his fifth season with Pittsburgh, backing up Jarry to a 2.79 GAA and .914 SV% in 2021-22. He will hope the Penguin's offence can continue to roll as it has posted six goals in both of their two wins to start the season.
