Smith will patrol the crease for Thursday's home matchup with the Sabres, Jason Gregor of OilersNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith is bogged down in a four-game losing streak during which he posted a 4.44 GAA and .837 save percentage. Heading into the final weeks of the season, the Oilers will likely roll with whichever netminder is hot unless either Smith or Mikko Koskinen can separate himself from the other.
