Smith (lower body) put forth an impressive 44-save shutout against the Oilers in his return from injury Saturday. The Coyotes won the game 4-0.
EDGE Analysis
Well, that's one way to come back with a vengeance. Smith was out since Dec. 15, requiring surgery to repair a core muscle injury that has ultimately limited him to just 23 appearances this year. The Coyotes won't make the playoffs this year, but the former Canadian Olympian is a workhorse between the pipes, so those looking for a goaltending boost could do worse than trying their luck with Smith. He'll almost assuredly get the bulk of the remaining starts for Arizona and can steal a game once in awhile, so check your wire.
