Dallas Stars
Casey DeSmith was placed on non-roster status and the goaltender was granted leave due to a personal family matter, the Stars announced on Saturday. DeSmith is 9-2-4 with a 2.44 goals-against average, .912 save percentage and one shutout in 15 starts this season. The Stars also recalled goalie Remi Poirier from Texas of the American Hockey League. He is 8-10-4 with a 2.77 GAA, .903 save percentage and one shutout in 22 games. The Stars host the Montreal Canadiens on Sunday (2 p.m. ET; Victory+, TSN2, RDS). “We should have [DeSmith] back sometime in Carolina (play Hurricanes on Tuesday), just with a few days with his family here,” STars coach Glen Gulutzan said. “Important stuff, family first and we’ll get him back in Carolina.”
