Smith played well against a tough opponent stopping 29 of 31 in a winning effort against Vancouver on Tuesday. It looks at this point like Smith might start every game for the Coyotes. He is a workhorse and that is what you want as a fantasy owner, he has a tough matchup tonight vs. a strong defensive Wild team.

VAN: Schneider | Smith gets the start as expected

Smith lost his last two starts while posting a 3.37 GAA and .905 SV%. The Coyotes are thin up front right now so Smith needs to play very well if Phoenix is going to win. He has a tough matchup tonight against the Canucks.

Smith made 43 saves in the shootout loss to the Oilers Saturday. The Flames also played Saturday, beating Minnesota.

The Coyotes haven't played since the 18th so it is no surprise that Smith will be between the pipes today. The Coyotes have a back-to-back today and tomorrow and it sounds like Smith will start both games. Since returning from injury Smith has lost only twice in regulation and once in a shootout. He has been great lately posting a 1.55 GAA and .948 SV% in his last five starts. He has a great matchup today vs. an Oilers team struggling to score.

Smith had an easy matchup in his last outing vs. the Blue Jackets when he gave up 3 goals on just 20 shots but still registered the win. He has another good matchup tonight when Phoenix takes on Calgary. Danny Taylor gets his first NHL start tonight for the Flames so Phoenix has the upper-hand in terms of goalies.
