Smith will be between the posts for Thursday night's matchup in Los Angeles.

EDGE Analysis

Smith drew a rare night off Tuesday for the second game of a back-to-back, but will reclaim the starter's net for Thursday's divisional matchup. The 34-year-old hasn't had a lot of success against the Kings this season, showing a .903 save percentage and allowing seven goals to them over the course of two losses. Additionally, the Kings are coming off of their bye week and average 2.92 goals per game at home, so it could be another tough outing for Smith despite his recent good form.
