Goalie Start
DeSmith was the first goalie off of the ice at the Penguins morning skate.
DeSmith stopped 35 of 37 shots in the Penguins win over the Golden Knights on Thursday. DeSmith filled in admirably for Matt Murray, who was unavailable due to a concussion. Murray is healthy enough to dress tonight, but they will stick with DeSmith after a great performance versus Vegas.
Goalie Start
DeSmith will start Thursday vs. the Golden Knights.
DeSmith takes over as the Penguins starting goalie with Matt Murray sidelined with a concussion. The 27-year-old was in this position last year, going 6-4-1 with a 2.40 GAA and .921 SV%. DeSmith is a worthwhile pickup while Murray is out, but has a tough first matchup with the Golden Knights in town.
The Stars have signed Tyler Seguin to an eight-year contract extension worth $78.8 million ($9.85M AAV).
The Lightning re-signed Adam Erne to a one-year deal worth $800K.
Erne played with both Tampa Bay (NHL) and Syracuse (AHL) for the second straight season. The 23-year-old had three goals and one assist in 23 games with the Lightning and 26 points (12G / 14A) in 41 games with the Crunch. Erne heads into the 2019 season as the 12th or 13th forward in Tampa Bay, unless there is an Erik Karlsson trade that frees up some room on the depth chart.
The Panthers signed Alex Petrovic to a one-year extension worth $1.95M.
The Predators have signed Colin Blackwell to a two-year deal worth $1.3M ($650K AAV).
Blackwell is formerly a seventh-round pick of the Sharks (No.194 in 2011) and is coming off of a season in which he had 17 goals and 28 assists (45 points) in 61 games with the Rochester Americans (AHL). He will be in Milwaukee (AHL) to start the 2019 season.
The Rangers select Nils Lundkvist with the No.28 overall pick.
Line Change
Petrovic will come out of the Panthers lineup on Sunday.
Haley will come out of the Panthers lineup on Sunday.
Goalie Start
DeSmith will start Friday vs. the Senators.
Erne is out indefinitely with a lower-body injury.
Petrovic (lower-body) will be back in the Panthers lineup on Thursday.
Goalie Start
DeSmith will start against the Canadiens on Wednesday.
It’s the first start for DeSmith since March 14th when he allowed four goals on 33 shots in an overtime loss to the Rangers. Tristian Jarry was sent down to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AHL) on Monday, so DeSmith should continue to handle backup duties from here on out. He draws a strong matchup tonight against the Canadiens.
Petrovic (lower-body) will not play on Tuesday.
Petrovic (lower-body) is expected to be back in the Panthers lineup on Monday.
Petrovic has missed the last two games with a lower-body injury but it looks like he’ll be back in tonight in Montreal. Petrovic doesn’t bring a lot off offence to the table, having picked up just 11 points (1G / 10A) in 56 games this season.
Goalie Start
DeSmith will start Wednesday in New York.
DeSmith allowed one goal on 18 shots in the Penguins win over the Stars on Sunday. After a few tough outings, DeSmith has settled in a bit recently, stopping 26 of the last 27 shots (.963 SV%) that he has faced. Tonight he faces the Rangers at Madison Square Garden and comes in at 1-2-0 with a 2.99 GAA and .909 SV% on the road.
