EDGE Analysis

Smith struggled in his last start Wednesday versus the Lightning, surrendering four goals on just 22 shots en route to a 5-3 defeat.

Smith allowed four goals on 22 shots in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Smith didn't face many shots, but the skilled Lightning shooters made the most of their limited opportunities. Tampa Bay held the lead for good after Steven Stamkos broke a 1-1 tie with 15 seconds remaining in the first period, and the Lightning finally put it away with an empty-netter after Smith was pulled for an extra attacker. Smith has allowed eight goals on just 29 shots in his last two outings, so the 39-year-old netminder's back to struggling after a brief resurgence earlier in February.

EDGE Analysis

Fantasy managers counting on a boost from Smith were disappointed after he lasted just 13:38 in the contest. The 39-year-old saw his three-game winning streak snapped after the Oilers were unable to cover his damage. Smith is now 5-5-1 with a 3.61 GAA and an .895 save percentage in 12 appearances. The Oilers have been better under new coach Jay Woodcroft, but Smith's season numbers suggest that he won't return results to match his No. 1 status in net. A tough road trip begins Wednesday versus the Lightning.

Smith will patrol the crease Sunday against visiting Minnesota.
