Smith will start between the pipes in Thursday's home game against the Red Wings, Sarah McLellan of the Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith was razor-sharp in his last start, stopping all 22 shots he faced in Monday's 1-0 victory over the lowly Avalanche. The 6-foot-4 netminder will look to stay hot and pick up his 19th win of the campaign in a favorable home matchup with a struggling Red Wings club that has lost six of its last seven games.
