DeSmith will get the starting nod on the road versus Washington on Wednesday.
With Matt Murray struggling -- he's given up 15 goals over his previous four outings for an .839 save percentage and has been pulled twice -- coach Mike Sullivan will insert backup DeSmith for Wednesday's clash. The 27-year-old is 2-0-2 with a shutout and .932 save percentage in seven appearances this season and, thus far, has been the better of the two netminders.
