Corrado, 24, was acquired by the Penguins from the Toronto Maple Leafs on March 1 in a deal that sent Eric Fehr and Steve Oleksy, plus a 2017 fourth-round draft pick, to the Leafs.

DeSmith, 25, earned his first NHL contract with this deal after providing the WBS Penguins with excellent numbers on a minor-league deal his first two seasons a pro. This past year, DeSmith was one-half of the AHL's best goaltending duo alongside Tristan Jarry. The two combined to win the Harry 'Hap' Holmes Memorial Award, which is awarded to the goaltenders that post the lowest goals-against average in the AHL.
A 6-foot, 180-pound Rochester, New Hampshire native, DeSmith was named to the AHL's All-Rookie Team this year after leading all AHL netminders with a 2.01 goals-against average. DeSmith went 21-5-4 with one shutout and a .926 save percentage in 29 regular-season games. His save percentage tied for second-best in the AHL.
An undrafted free agent, DeSmith has appeared in 35 career AHL regular-season contests, compiling an overall record of 23-7-3 to go with his 2.00 goals-against average and .926 save percentage.
During the last two AHL playoff runs, DeSmith has assumed the starting role for WBS with Jarry backing up at the NHL level both years. DeSmith has gone 7-7 with a 2.56 goals-against average and a .918 save percentage.
Before joining WBS, DeSmith played three seasons of college hockey at the University of New Hampshire, where he made the Hockey East All-Rookie Team as a freshman.
