The undrafted 27-year-old netminder has gone 12-7-4 with a 2.47 GAA and .924 SV% in 26 games with the Penguins this season. DeSmith has played very well while Matt Murray was sidelined and proved that he is a more than capable No.2 netminder who can serve as a No.1 when called upon.

Radil came over to North America after spending the las three years in the KHL. The 28-year-old had six points (1G / 5A) in 11 AHL games and nine points (6G / 3A) in 18 NHL games since being recalled. Radil is carrying a strong 58.6 CF% and +2.8 CF%rel and appears to be a candidate to remain with the Sharks through the remainder of the season.

Gourde was an undrafted free agent that worked his way to the NHL after playing 298 AHL games and 38 ECHL games. The 26-year-old exploded onto the scene in 2017-18, scoring 25 goals and 39 assists (64 points) in 82 games. Gourde will turn 27 in December, so this contract will take him through his age-33 season.
