Smith made 34 saves in a 3-1 loss to the Lightning on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The game was close -- Smith allowed just two goals, but his mates couldn't solve Andrei Vasilevskiy in the other net. The loss snapped a three-game winning streak and it's his first regulation loss in 2020 (8-1-2). Smith is a sneaky fantasy play right now. Hot is hot, despite the loss.

Smith will get the starting nod for Thursday's road matchup with Tampa Bay, Jack Michaels of the Oilers Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith hasn't lost in regulation since Dec. 20 against the Penguins, having posted an 8-0-2 record and .916 save percentage in 11 outings. The veteran netminder appears to have cemented himself as the preferred option in Edmonton after having split much of the workload with Mikko Koskinen to start the year.

Smith saved 38 of 41 shots in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

A chaotic start saw seven goals scored between the two teams over the first 25 minutes, but both goalies settled in after that. Smith was particularly good with 18 saves in the third period to protect a one-goal lead until Leon Draisaitl potted the empty-netter. The 37-year-old goalie has won eight of his last nine starts. He improved to 15-9-4 with a 2.96 GAA and a .902 save percentage in 30 games. Smith is the hot hand right now, and should see a majority of the starts in the near future.

Smith will start Tuesday's home game against Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

Smith is 7-0-2 in his last nine starts, making him a hot commodity in most fantasy leagues. He and the Oilers will be without Connor McDavid (leg) for Tuesday's game, which surely hurts the host's chances of winning, even with a hot goalie in net.

Smith made 27 saves in a 3-2 win over Nashville on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

It was Smith's 600th game. He's been remarkably sharp since the new decade began. Smith is undefeated in regulation (7-0-2 in nine starts) and his last regulation loss came Dec. 20. Make sure he's in your blue paint when he gets tapped to start.

Smith will patrol the crease during Saturday's home game versus Nashville, Jack Michaels of the Oilers Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith wasn't great in his last start Saturday against the Flames, surrendering three goals on 18 shots before being ejected from the contest, but he ended up doing enough to pick up his 13th win of the season. The veteran netminder will attempt to secure his seventh victory in his last eight starts in a home matchup with a Predators team that's averaging 3.56 goals per game on the road this campaign, third in the NHL.

Smith stopped 15 of 18 shots and racked up 17 PIM in Saturday's 8-3 win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Smith joined Flames goalie Cam Talbot for a donnybrook at center ice that forced the officials to end the second period early. Both netminders were ejected for their participation in the brawl. Smith still earned the win for his troubles -- he improved to 13-9-4 with a 3.00 GAA and an .899 save percentage through 28 games. The 37-year-old has gone 6-0-1 over his last seven starts -- he's getting results, even without putting in his best performances.

Smith will defend the road net in Saturday's matchup versus the Flames, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith played well in Wednesday's contest against the Flames, stopping 25 of 28 shots, but he fell in a shootout. The veteran goalie had an excellent January still, as he posted a 5-0-2 record with a .920 save percentage. This expected to be another tight matchup against the division rival.

Smith yielded three goals on 28 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Smith's personal five-game winning streak came to an end, as the Oilers couldn't get ahead of their rivals Wednesday. The 37-year-old dropped to 12-9-4 with a 2.96 GAA and a .901 save percentage in 27 appearances this season. He's started seven of the last eight games -- coach Dave Tippett may want to get Mikko Koskinen a start in the near future.

Smith will tend the twine against the Flames at home Wednesday, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith is riding a five-game winning streak and will continue to defend the cage over Mikko Koskinen as long as the victories keep piling up, though a back-to-back on the horizon should give the veteran Smith a night off Friday or Saturday against St. Louis and Calgary. If the Ontario native can keep rolling, he might have enough time to reach the 20-win mark for the third straight year, but he will need to avoid any extended slumps.
