Smith will be between the pipes for Saturday's game against the Wild, Sarah McLellan of the Arizona Republic reports. Smith will more than likely square off against his former understudy in Devan Dubnyk, who has been spectacular since claiming the Wild's No. 1 goalie job. Meanwhile, Smith has continued to flounder for the lottery-bound Coyotes, though he did recently help the team end its 10-game losing streak with a strong effort Thursday against Vancouver. Outings of that variety have been too infrequent for Smith, who will carry a horrid 11-31-5 record, 3.30 GAA, and .895 save percentage into Saturday's match.
