Mike Smith allowed only one goal on 31 shots in the Coyotes' 3-1 victory over the Detroit Red Wings Monday night.
Smith played at an elite level tonight in Glendale against a very strong Detroit team. Like Brian Elliott, Smith has been quite the waiver wire find this season for fantasy owners, posting a 20-14-7 record as well as very sold peripheral numbers.

Look for Mike Smith to get the start in goal for the Coyotes on Saturday.
Smith was pulled just past the halfway mark of the second period on Tuesday and has not had a chance to redeem himself as the Coyotes have not played since then. "I like to stay sharp." Smith said as he had only one practice after the five day All-Star break. "One day off's nice, but when you get into two, three and five, I think it's harder for a goalie to get back into it than it is for a player." Look for Smith to bounce back tonight as the Coyotes face the San Jose Sharks.

Mike Smith kicked away only 17 of 21 shots as the Phoenix Coyotes fell to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday night, 4-3.
His teammates certainly did their part in trying to generate offense as they peppered Dwayne Roloson with 36 shots, but Smith did not do his. Smith has yielded 12 goals over his last three games. If Phoenix wants to make noise in the second half, it will need Smith to keep them in games.

Mike Smith will get the chance to play against one of his former teams Saturday.
He will be between the pipes against the Lightning, the club he played for the past two seasons before coming to Phoenix. Plenty of motivation here!

Mike Smith rebounded after a miserable start on Wednesday by allowing two goals on 35 shots in the Phoenix Coyotes' 3-2 shootout loss to the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday.
This is exactly the performance fantasy owners wanted to see out of Smith after giving up six goals on 21 shots against the Anaheim Ducks. Even though Smith has lost his last two starts against the Wings 3-2 via the shootout, it's encouraging to see him wipe the slate clean and forget what was his worst performance of the year. Smith has a 17-12-7 record (with only two wins over his last eight starts), 2.41 goals-against average and .923 save percentage through 36 games played.

Mike Smith is slated to be between the pipes for Phoenix Thursday night against Detroit despite being blitzed in Anaheim on Wednesday.
He allowed six goals on 21 shots in a 6-2 loss, but stayed in for the entire game. Smith was great against the Red Wings last week, stopping 40 of 42 shots in a 3-2 shootout loss, so that's probably why the team is sticking by him for Thursday's match-up.
