Smith is expected to tend the twine for Friday's Game 2 home clash with Winnipeg, per Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Smith faced just 20 shots in Game 1, his third-lowest total this season, but still conceded a pair of goals and dropping Game 1 to the underdog Jets. While the 39-year-old Smith reached the 20-win mark for the third time in his last four seasons, he is still squaring off with the 2019-20 Vezina Trophy winner in Connor Hellebuyck and likely can't afford many bad outings, even with the high-powered offense in front of him.

Smith gave up two goals on 20 shots in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Jets in Game 1. The last two goals were empty-netters.

EDGE Analysis

Smith wasn't necessarily bad -- the goals against him came on a rebound and a deflection. The Oilers didn't give him much help in the contest. The 39-year-old netminder had a fair amount of success against the Jets in the regular season, posting a ,936 save percentage against them in five outings. He'll likely be back between the pipes for Friday's Game 2.

Smith will protect the home goal in Wednesday's Game 1 versus the Jets, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

It comes as no surprise Smith gets the start in Game 1. The 39-year-old had a 21-6-2 record with a 2.31 GAA and a .923 save percentage in 32 regular-season outings, easily establishing himself as the Oilers' No. 1 option in goal. He won four of his five appearances against the Jets this year, allowing only nine goals on 140 shots in those games.

Smith stopped 26 of 29 shots in a 4-3 overtime win over Montreal on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Smith earned his second straight victory, and fourth in his last five starts, after teammate Dominik Kahun struck for the winner less than 30 seconds into overtime. After a rather middling first season in Edmonton in which he logged a .902 save percentage, the 39-year-old Smith has been slump-proof in 2020-21, going 21-6-2 with a 2.31 GAA and .923 save percentage. It remains to be seen if Smith will draw the starting assignment or get the day off for Saturday's regular-season finale.

Smith will defend the blue paint during Wednesday's road matchup with Montreal, Jason Gregor of OilersNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith wasn't great in his last start Saturday against the Canucks, surrendering three goals on just 25 shots, but he was still able to secure his 20th win of the season thanks to solid goal support from his teammates. He'll try to extend his personal winning streak to four games in a road matchup with a Canadiens club that will be resting a number of key players including Tyler Toffoli and Jeff Petry.

Smith stopped 22 of 25 shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

A back-and-forth second period made it a close game, but Smith was perfect in the third period to preserve a one-goal lead. The 39-year-old improved to 20-6-2 with a 2.28 GAA and a .924 save percentage through 31 appearances. Smith has enjoyed one of the best seasons of his career and will likely be leaned on heavily in the playoffs.

EDGE Analysis

Smith was excellent in his last start Tuesday against Vancouver, stopping 28 of 29 shots en route to a comfortable 4-1 victory. He'll attempt to earn his 20th win of the season in a home matchup with the same Canucks club Saturday.

Smith stopped 21 of 23 shots in relief of Mikko Koskinen in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Smith came into the game after Koskinen failed to make a save on the first four Canucks shots. The 39-year-old Smith wasn't part of the decision Thursday. He has a 19-6-2 record with a 2.26 GAA and a .925 save percentage in 30 appearances, and the Ontario native figures to be the Oilers' primary goalie once the playoffs get underway.

Smith allowed only one goal on 29 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

A somewhat fluky Brock Boeser goal in the opening minute was the only puck to get behind Smith on Tuesday. The 39-year-old goalie improved to 19-6-2 with a 2.25 GAA and a .925 save percentage through 29 appearances. He's likely to get another look against the Canucks on Thursday.

Smith will start Tuesday's game in Vancouver, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith continues to have one of the best seasons of his lengthy NHL career, putting up a sparkling .924 save percentage and 2.30 GAA across 28 games. He'll face a Canucks squad that's lost five straight contests.
