According to Pittsburgh Penguins reporter Michelle Crechiolo, backup goaltender Casey DeSmith will get the start tonight against the Detroit Red Wings.
Mike Sullivan said Casey DeSmith will start in goal tonight vs. Detroit.
"I think the fact that he's got a number of days of practice where he's getting reps and an opportunity to work out some of the technicalities of his game with Andy (Chiodo) is going to be real beneficial."

DeSmith starts ahead of number one netminder Tristan Jarry, who stopped 27 of 29 shots in Pittsburgh’s 2-1 overtime loss to the Seattle Kraken Thursday night.
