Smith's struggles continued Wednesday, as he stopped just eight of 11 shots in two periods during a 4-0 loss to Anaheim.

EDGE Analysis

March has been nothing short of a disaster for Smith, who's given up at least three goals in every start this month save a March 13 shutout of Edmonton. Against teams that aren't from Alberta, he's sporting an .828 save percentage, which is one reason the Flames have headed the wrong direction in the standings as of late. Unless you don't have any other options, he should not be starting for you right now.

Smith will start in goal Wednesday night versus the visiting Ducks, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith has coughed up 13 goals over his past three starts, falling victim to the Sharks, Golden Knights and Coyotes, respectively, to lose serious ground in the Pacific Division. His next challenger is 6-3-1 over the last 10 games, which means you'd have to be pretty brave to continue streaming Smith during such a cold spell. Consider alternatives if you have depth in goal.

Smith took his third straight loss, stopping 25 of the 28 shots he faced in a 5-2 loss to Arizona on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The score was deceptive because the Coyotes hit two empty-net goals that Smith could only watch from the bench. But for the third straight game, the opponent reached three goals and his save percentage was under .900. The fact that his struggles continued against the Coyotes, who are the league's worst at lighting the lamp, is cause for concern and should probably keep him out of your lineup if you have another option.

Smith will be the road starter against the Coyotes on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Smith has struggled since returning from injury. In four games he's posted a 3.85 GAA and an .867 save percentage. The 35-year-old also has to rebound quickly given that he started against Vegas on Sunday. One point in Smith's favor: Arizona has averaged a league-low 2.37 goals per game.

Smith stopped 27 shots in Sunday's 4-0 loss to the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

The Flames lost T.J. Brodie to an upper-body injury early in the second period, leaving the blue line corps in front of Smith undermanned, and Vegas promptly capitalized with four goals in a little over nine minutes. The veteran netminder has now lost three of four starts since returning from his own lower-body injury, managing only an .867 save percentage over that stretch, but Calgary has little choice but to rely on Smith and hope he can turn things around if the team is going to climb back into the playoff race.

Smith will guard the cage in Sunday's road game against the Golden Knights, Postmedia's Kristen Anderson reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith struggled in his last start, surrendering six goals on just 20 shots before being yanked from Friday's 7-4 loss to San Jose. The veteran netminder will look to shake off that poor performance and pick up his 25th victory of the season in a tough road matchup with a Vegas squad that's averaging 3.57 goals per game at home this season, fifth in the NHL.

Smith allowed six goals on 20 shots before getting pulled during a 7-4 loss to the Sharks on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The Sharks scored three straight goals to end the second period, but it wasn't until a fourth consecutive score in the first 65 seconds of the third that led to the end of Smith's night. It's been a real mixed bag for Smith since he returned from injury last Sunday. In three starts, he has give up 10 goals, but all of those scores came in two contests, as the other was a shutout. Six goals is the most he's yielded this season. Fighting for a playoff spot, the Flames obviously hope he finds his game soon. Even after Friday's debacle, though, Smith is 24-18-6 with a .919 save percentage.

Smith will tend the twine for Friday's clash with San Jose, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith is coming off a 28-save shutout performance versus the Oilers and will look to carry that momentum forward against the Sharks. The veteran is 12-9-3 in his career versus San Jose, along with an impressive .940 save percentage. If the netminder can cage the Sharks, he would put his time in a good position to secure a Wild Card spot.

Smith stopped all 28 shots in Tuesday's win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

It was just the second game back from injury for Smith, who stymied the Oilers with one of his best outings of the season. The veteran made key saves on some of Edmonton's top offensive players, including Connor McDavid, to help Calgary remain in the playoff picture. The 35-year-old advances to 24-17-6 on the season with a .922 save percentage. He's been brilliant at times this year and will be relied on heavily as the Flames look to sneak into the postseason.

EDGE Analysis

Smith was shaky in his return from injury Sunday against the Islanders, surrendering four goals on 26 shots en route to a 5-2 loss. The 35-year-old backstop will look to get back on track and pick up his 24th victory of the campaign in a home matchup with a hot Oilers team that's won three straight games.
