The Oilers activated Smith (leg) off long-term injured reserve Wednesday. He'll start Wednesday's game against St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, the 39-year-old returns for his first game since Oct. 19. In three games before the leg injury, Smith posted a 3.08 GAA and .920 save percentage, winning two of the three contests. He figures to share goaltending duties with Mikko Koskinen going forward.
