Picture this: it's a chilly Thursday night and the Dallas Stars are welcoming the Seattle Kraken onto their home ice. Dallas' stalwart netminder, Casey DeSmith, is gearing up in the crease. He's been a revelation this season, stopping pucks as if his life depended on it, particularly at home. In his last five home games, DeSmith has averaged 24.4 saves, allowing just a measly two goals against per match. That's a save count well north of our target 14.5. DeSmith isn't just a home hero either; his overall performance echoes this story, with a stellar 21.8 saves average in his last five outings. And let's not forget his impeccable hit streak: 13 straight home games, 21 overall. When DeSmith is between the pipes, the chances are he's going to rack up those saves. So, let's back him to go over 14.5 saves in this matchup.
