Smith was lit up for five goals on 20 shot attempts in Saturday's loss to the Senators. He was pulled from the game with 17:45 remaining in the third period, giving way to backup Louis Domingue. Just when Smith seemed to be turning the corner in a dreadful season, he experienced yet another steep backslide. The 32-year-old has given up five or more goals in a game a whopping nine times this season, making him highly toxic to those counting him for ratio stabilization. The early removal from Saturday's game may have provided Smith with sufficient rest to prepare for Sunday's match against the Canadiens, but even if he garners the start, there's little reason to feel confident about using him.
