Smith is poised to patrol the crease for Saturday's home matchup with Vegas, per NHL.com.
EDGE Analysis
Smith is coming off a 30-save shutout performance versus Nashville on Thursday in which he extended his winning streak to five games. Given his recent run of form, Smith should continue to see the majority of the starts heading into the playoffs, but he will likely be on a short leash with Mikko Koskinen waiting in the wings.

Smith stopped all 30 shots he faced in Thursday's 4-0 win over Nashville.
EDGE Analysis
Smith was on top of his game and got three goals of support from Leon Draisaitl, plus another from Darnell Nurse. It has been an up-and-down season for the 40-year-old netminder, but Smith is making a late push to reclaim the No. 1 spot in Edmonton's crease from Mikko Koskinen heading into the postseason. Smith's on a five-game winning streak and has allowed only four goals over his last four starts, improving to 12-9-2 with a 3.04 GAA and .907 save percentage on the season.

EDGE Analysis
Smith has been excellent in the month of April, stringing together four straight wins while posting an admirable 2.24 GAA and .932 save percentage. He'll try to pick up his 12th victory of the season in a road matchup with a Nashville squad that's 23-12-0 at home this year.

Smith stopped 31 of 33 shots in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Smith stretched his winning streak to four games, finishing off a tight battle between two teams that could meet in the first round of the playoffs. The 40-year-old has allowed nine goals during his current streak. He's up to 11-9-2 with a 3.19 GAA and a .903 save percentage in 23 appearances. Smith's got control of the Oilers' crease right now, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him start again at home Saturday in a tough matchup against the Avalanche.

Smith stopped 31 of 32 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Smith only allowed a first-period power-play goal to Tomas Hertl. The Oilers were able to even the score on a Ryan Nugent-Hopkins shorthanded tally, and Smith set up Connor McDavid's game-winner 31 seconds into overtime. This was Smith's fourth win in his last five outings. The 40-year-old netminder is up to 10-9-2 with a 3.24 GAA and a .901 save percentage in 22 outings. With the Oilers trying to sort out their position in the Pacific Division, head coach Jay Woodcroft may want to ride the hot hand, and that's Smith right now. The Oilers wrap up a road trip Thursday versus the Kings.

Smith will start Tuesday's road game in San Jose, Jack Michaels of the Oilers Radio Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mikko Koskinen was originally expected to start, but Smith led the Oilers onto the ice for warmups. The 40-year-old stopped 31 of 32 shots versus the Ducks on Sunday, and he'll look to build some momentum in this contest.

Smith allowed one goals on 32 shots in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Smith's only goal against came on a steal-and-score play by Zach Aston-Reese in the third period. This was one of Smith's best outings of the season, and it earned him his third win in his last four games. The 40-year-old is up to 9-9-2 with a 3.36 GAA and an .897 save percentage in 21 appearances this season. With Mikko Koskinen (illness) out, Smith is likely the No. 1 in net in the short term, though the Oilers' goaltending situation should revert to a timeshare once Koskinen is healthy.

EDGE Analysis
Smith earned a win over the Blues on Friday despite yielding five goals on 36 shots. He improved to 8-9-2 with an unsightly 3.49 GAA and .894 save percentage through 20 appearances this season. Stuart Skinner will serve as the backup with Mikko Koskinen (illness) unavailable.
