Mike Smith was dazzling Wednesday night, blocking 39 shots in Phoenix's 4-1 victory over the Avalanche in Colorado. Smith is on an impressive roll. He has gone 4-0-1 in his past five appearances. He blocked 37 shots in Phoenix's 3-2 overtime win over the Los Angeles Kings last Saturday night. He also has very good numbers against Colorado, with a 3-1-1 record against the Avs in his career. Smith, 6-foot-4 and 220 pounds, drew skepticism after replacing Ilya Bryzgalov as the Coyotes' goalie entering this season, but he should be silencing his critics with his accomplishments so far in 2011-12 and is definitely a strong fantasy option in net. If you can, get him now, while he's hot.
