Smith was first off the ice in Tuesday's morning skate, Sarah McLellan of the Arizona Republic reports. This means he'll start in goal in the evening contest against the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Smith was handed his first loss of the season last Saturday against the Bruins, as the Coyotes' defense was lackadaisical and watched Smith stop 38 of 43 shots. The Devils are less prone to score than the B's, so the matchup Tuesday should be a bit more friendly for the 33-year-old.
