Smith will man the home crease Friday against the Blues, Jack Michaels of Oilers TV reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith's most recent appearance was a forgettable one, as he allowed four goals in relief to take the loss against Calgary on March 26. His previous start came two days earlier, and Smith was much sharper then, holding the Sharks to two goals on 30 shots. The Blues' fifth-ranked offense (3.52 goals per game) presents a daunting matchup, but the Oilers come into this one having won each of their last eight home games.
