The Dallas Stars made some goaltender-related roster moves Saturday morning.
Casey DeSmith was granted non-roster status, the team announced. According to the Stars, DeSmith was granted leave due to a personal family matter.
In a corresponding move, the Stars recalled Rémi Poirier from their AHL affiliate.
