Smith will guard the cage in Thursday's home game against the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Smith was sharp in his last start Sunday against Carolina, turning aside 33 of the 35 shots he faced, but he ultimately suffered his 20th defeat of the campaign due to a lack of goal support from his teammates. The 34-year-old goaltender will look to stay dialed in and pick up his 17th victory of the season in a tough matchup with a hot Senators club that has won four consecutive games.
