Smith allowed a goal on 23 shots in Monday's 4-1 win over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
The Oilers couldn't break through in the first two periods, but Smith did well to keep things close. The Oilers then scored four times in the third to reward the 39-year-old goalie with his third win in the last four games. Smith improved to 16-4-2 overall with a 2.30 GAA and a .923 save percentage in 24 outings. He could get another turn in the crease in Wednesday's rematch with the Canadiens.

Smith will start Monday's home game against Montreal, Bob Stauffer of Oilers Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith's coming off his third shutout of the season, in which he set aside all 26 Jets shots he faced. That effort improved Smith's record to 15-4-2 while dropping his GAA to 2.36 and raising his save percentage to .922. He'll take on a scuffling Canadiens offense that has produced only three goals over its last three games and is coming off a shutout loss at the hands of the Senators.

Smith posted a 26-save shutout in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Smith did well to keep the Jets off the board until the Oilers' offense woke up midway through the second period. The shutout was the third of the year for Smith, who has a 15-4-2 record with a 2.36 GAA and a .922 save percentage through 23 appearances. The Oilers are set for a two-game series at home versus the Canadiens, and the 39-year-old goalie should be considered likely to start at least one of those contests.

Smith will defend the blue paint during Saturday's road game versus Winnipeg, Jason Gregor of OilersNation.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith wasn't great in his last start last Saturday against Calgary, allowing five goals on 32 shots en route to an ugly 5-0 defeat. The veteran backstop will try to bounce back and earn his 15th victory of the season in a tough road matchup with a hot Jets team that's won five of its last six games.

Smith and Edmonton's game versus the Canucks on Friday has been postponed, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith will have to wait for Saturday's matchup with the Jets for his next potential opportunity to get between the pipes. The veteran netminder has gone 14-4-2 while posting a 2.46 GAA and a .918 save percentage in 22 appearances this year.

Smith allowed five goals on 32 shots in Saturday's 5-0 loss to the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Smith kept the Flames off the scoreboard in the first period, but they fired back with four tallies in the second. The Oilers' offense never got going, mustering only 17 shots against Flames goalie Jacob Markstrom. Smith fell to 14-4-2 with a 2.47 GAA and a .918 save percentage through 22 appearances. The Oilers' next game is scheduled for Friday versus the Canucks -- Smith should be well-rested in time for that contest.

Smith will defend the blue paint during Saturday's road game versus Calgary, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith was fantastic in his last start Thursday against Ottawa, turning aside 39 of 40 shots en route to a 3-1 win. The veteran netminder will try to secure a second straight victory in a road matchup with a struggling Flames team that's lost four straight contests.

Smith stopped 39 of 40 shots Thursday in a 3-1 win over the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Smith was sensational, earning No. 1 star honors after yielding just a Connor Brown second-period goal. The 38-year-old ran hot and cold last season with Edmonton, but the second-year Oiler has limited the bad outings in 2020-21 and owns a .922 save percentage that would be his best since 2011-12 with the Coyotes. Look for him to draw the starting nod Saturday in Calgary.

Smith will patrol the crease for Thursday's road clash with Ottawa, Gene Principe of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith hasn't lost in regulation in his last six contests, as he is 4-0-2 over that stretch with a 2.63 GAA and .913 save percentage. With Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl in front of him, Smith doesn't have to be perfect to rack up wins - simply good enough.

Smith stopped 29 shots in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
The Oilers took a 2-0 lead into the third period but Smith couldn't hold it up, allowing two goals early in the final frame before getting beaten by Eric Staal in OT. The veteran netminder hasn't lost in regulation in six straight starts, going 4-0-2, and on the season he sports a 2.41 GAA and .919 save percentage.
