His offensive capabilities were on full display, contributing significantly to the Stars’ overall performance. His ability to find the back of the net repeatedly against the Senators was a testament to his skill and work ethic.
Milestone Moments for Team Members

Backup Goaltender Casey DeSmith’s Strong Performance
Providing solid support on the defensive end was backup goaltender Casey DeSmith, who made an impressive 15 saves during the game. His extension of the unbeaten streak to eight games (6-0-2) underscores the importance of having a reliable presence in the net.
