Milestone watch.
Published by the league, not computed here: the milestone and the current total are both on the NHL milestone feed, and the number printed is the difference. Playoff milestone rows are held out, because a playoff total read as a career total is a false statement.
What this draft slot returns.
Casey DeSmith was never selected in an NHL Entry Draft, so there is no slot to price. Undrafted careers are not a slot outcome and the page leaves the comparison empty rather than filling it with a stand-in.

The same numbers, in the league that produced them.
2025-26 is the best season either way: 2.43 raw, 2.33 once the league it happened in is levelled out.

Method: each season's raw goals-against average is multiplied by 3.00 ÷ that season's league goals per team-game, taken from the official final standings. Seasons under 20 games are excluded. It levels scoring climate and nothing else (not role, ice time, teammates, schedule or injury), so treat it as one comparison, not a verdict.

The comparable set.
Selection rule. Goaltenders only; career games played within ±20% of 220 (or ±10 games, whichever band is wider: 176 to 264); then the five nearest by career SV%, ties broken by the closest games played. The pool is the 1,162 players in this site's NHL dossier set who own at least one official regular-season game: 18 of them cleared the band.
Similar career shape is not similar player. The rule matches volume and rate only; it knows nothing about era, position within the group, usage or role, and two careers can land on the same line for opposite reasons.

Method: every figure and every percentile on this panel is published by the NHL Edge endpoint. This site converts nothing and ranks nothing. The percentile column is the league's own, against the tracked population for 2025-26. Speeds arrive in mph and km/h; distance is read in kilometres with the mile conversion stated beside it. Tracked seasons on file for this player: 2021-22, 2022-23, 2023-24, 2024-25, 2025-26.

Method: goals, shots on goal and missed shots are attributed to the goaltender the feed says was in the net (details.goalieInNetId). Blocked shots are excluded, the puck never reached a goaltender, and empty-net events are excluded, because there was no goaltender to charge. Shooting percentage is goals divided by shots on goal, the league definition, in which shots on goal already include goals. The two board thresholds (3+ goals; 10+ shots at 15% or worse) are ported from the source project and printed here rather than left implicit. This is a count of what happened, not a rating of the goaltender.
The source receipt.
Career, season, game-log, bio, draft and award rows come from official NHL endpoints. Redraft is a separate hindsight model with its own snapshot clock. Pressure is a descriptive Gamelogs layer. Development Trails uses its own declared clock. Missing evidence stays unavailable rather than being drawn as zero.
