EDGE Analysis

Smith has had a volatile couple of weeks, dropping three straight after stringing together three consecutive wins against Montreal, Anaheim and Calgary. Surprisingly, the 33-year-old is still above .500 with a 10-8-1 record to go with a disappointing .903 save percentage and brutal 3.06 GAA.
