Smith will be between the pipes for Thursday's game against the Blackhawks, Sarah McLellan of the Arizona Republic reports. Smith has shown improved performance over his last several outings, but with a feeble Coyotes attack unable to muster much offense, the wins still aren't coming with any regularity. He'll once again be an undesirable play Thursday against the powerful Blackhawks, who will counter with a red-hot goalie in Corey Crawford in their net.
