Smith let by just one goal on 30 shots during Friday's 3-1 exhibition win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

In the preseason finale, Smith quieted last year's No. 4 offense. The Sharks roll out a potent attack, but the netminder looked sharp for a second straight game and now enters the regular season as the starting goal for the Yotes. The 34-year-old will split his duties with Louis Domingue, and in that same timeshare last year, the 2001 fifth-round pick accumulated .916 save percentage and 2.63 GAA.
