Smith (thumb) was activated off injured reserve Monday.
EDGE Analysis
It was Smith's second extended stint on injured reserve this season, as he has been limited to just six games this year in which he is 2-2-1 with a 3.76 GAA. If the veteran can stay healthy, he should at least split the workload with Mikko Koskinen moving forward and could even play his way into the full-time starter gig. The Oilers enter a back-to-back coming out of the All-Star break, so fantasy players can likely expect Smith to start either Tuesday or Wednesday versus the Knights or Blackhawks, respectively.
