Smith gave up four goals on 14 shots and was pulled at the second intermission of Tuesday's 4-1 road loss to the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

After he let a 1-1 game turn into a three-goal deficit during the second frame -- including two goals in the period's last two minutes -- Smith got the hook, but it was far too late. Perhaps he wasn't quite over the illness that kept him out the past two games, or perhaps Smith was just overmatched by the Bruins' tough offense. Either way, the recent returns haven't been very promising, as he's now given up a painful 26 goals over his last eight starts.
