Smith (leg) will return to the lineup for Wednesday's matchup with Ottawa, Jack Michaels of the Oilers Radio Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Oilers have yet to announce a starter for Wednesday's contest, but Smith, who missed Sunday's clash with the Canucks due to a leg injury, will at least be available to serve as Edmonton's backup against the Senators. The veteran netminder has compiled a 7-7-1 record while posting a 2.83 GAA and .907 save percentage in 15 appearances this season.

Smith (leg) is day-to-day and won't suit up in Sunday's matchup against the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Smith suffered this injury during Saturday's loss to the Canucks. The Oiler will start Mikko Koskinen in this clash, and they called up Stuart Skinner on an emergency basis to serve as the backup. With no back-to-backs in the near future, Koskinen figures to stake his claim to the crease as long as Smith's on the mend.

Smith gave up five goals on 38 shots in a 5-2 loss to the Canucks on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Smith allowed two goals in the first period, but the Oilers were able to erase that deficit. The Canucks stormed back for three unanswered tallies to win it in the end. Smith dropped to 7-7-1 with a 2.83 GAA and a .907 save percentage in 15 starts this year. He likely won't play in Sunday's rematch in Vancouver, as Mikko Koskinen is expected to start the second half of the home-and-home set.

Smith will patrol the crease during Saturday's home clash with the Canucks, Jack Michaels of the Oilers Radio Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith was pretty sharp in his last start last Saturday against Vegas, stopping 25 of 27 shots en route to a 4-2 road win. The veteran backstop will attempt to pick up his eighth victory of the campaign in a home matchup with a Vancouver team that's 7-8-1 on the road this year.

Smith turned aside 25 of 27 shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Smith can blame his defense on both goals -- the first came on a rebound from a blocked shot, and the second saw the Golden Knights' Shea Theodore split two defenders. The result is what matters though, and Smith improved to 7-6-1 with his 250th career win. The 37-year-old has a 2.66 GAA and a .911 save percentage in 14 games this year. He'll don a baseball cap for Sunday's game versus the Coyotes, as Mikko Koskinen is confirmed to start.

Smith will protect the road net in Saturday's matchup against the Golden Knights, Jack Michaels of the Oilers Radio Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith got the hook after just one period ruing Thursday's loss to the Kings, as he allowed three goals on 12 shots. The Oilers are affirming their confidence in the veteran, however, and he'll get a crack at a struggling Vegas team. The Golden Knights have dropped six of their last eight outings and averaged 2.75 scores per game in that span.

Smith allowed three goals on 12 shots in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Smith was replaced by Mikko Koskinen at the start of the second period after a rough opening frame. The Oilers were unable to erase the deficit, and Smith took the loss. The 37-year-old has a 6-6-1 record with a 2.72 GAA and a .910 save percentage in 13 appearances. He'll probably get a chance to bounce back quickly -- the Oilers play a back-to-back in Vegas and Arizona over the weekend.

Smith will guard the goal during Thursday's road game against the Kings, Jack Michaels of the Oilers Radio Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith was sharp in his last start last Thursday against Colorado, stopping 31 of 33 shots en route to a 6-2 blowout win. The 37-year-old goaltender will look to keep rolling in a road matchup with a Kings club that's averaging 3.00 goals per game at home this year, 23rd in the NHL.

Smith turned aside 31 of 33 shots in a 6-2 win over Colorado on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The 37-year old gave up the first goal of the night, but Smith's teammates scored more than enough goals the rest of the way; Edmonton tickled twine five times after Andre Burakovsy opened the scoring and added a sixth goal after Burakovsky's second of the night, scored late in the second period. The victory improves Smith's record to 6-5-1 in 2019-20, to go along with a 2.53 GAA and .915 save percentage.

Smith will patrol the crease during Thursday's home game against the Avalanche, Jason Gregor of OilersNation.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith has struggled recently, suffering losses in two straight starts while posting an ugly 4.56 GAA and .813 save percentage. The veteran netminder will look to get back on track in a home matchup with a surging Colorado club that's won three straight games.
