Smith will be the home starter against the Sabres on Monday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith took a loss in his last start after winning six straight games in a row, but even then he only allowed one goal on 35 shots. He's having a stellar season, posting a 2.42 GAA and a .925 save percentage to this point. The 35-year-old has a great chance to get back to winning against Buffalo, and the Sabres have the league's worst offense to boot.

Smith made 34 saves in a 2-1 shootout loss to the Jets on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
He saw his six-game winning streak snapped in the outing. Smith was sharp throughout, but couldn't get his pads or mitt on two shots in the shootout -- a snipe inside the post and a nifty deke. Still, Smith has allowed just a single goal in his last three starts and that means his counting stats remain exceptional.

Smith will tend the home twine Saturday against the Jets, Ryan Pike of The Hockey Writers reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith's dominating ways in the crease of late make it easy for the Flames to keep turning his way in the crease. He enters the contest on a six-game winnings streak and has allowed two goals or fewer in each of his last four starts. The veteran goalkeeper will attempt to keep that streak alive Saturday against a Jets club notching just 2.69 goals per game on the road this season.

Smith stopped 38 out of 39 shots in a 4-1 victory over the Hurricanes on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran goaltender is really starting to roll now, having not yielded more than two goals in four straight starts. In his last two games, Smith has turned aside 71 of 73 shots (.972 save percentage). With this hot streak, Smith has now won 20 games, which is more than he won all of last season with the Coyotes, and owns a .924 save percentage.

Smith will get Sunday's road start against the Hurricanes, Kristen Odland of the Calgary Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith has won five straight games, posting an encouraging .934 save percentage combined with a 2.18 GAA in that span. Even better, he's had plenty of offensive support lately, as the Flames have scored at least four goals in four of their last six matchups. The Hurricanes shouldn't scare fantasy owners either, as they've scored 2.8 goals per game this season - ranked 22nd in the league.

Smith knocked off the Lightning at home Thursday, turning aside 33 of 34 shots in a 5-1 victory.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran slammed the door early and often against one of the league's toughest home teams. After the win, Smith's road record sits at 8-3-3 to go with sparkling ratios (1.89 GAA, .946 save percentage), which are way better than his numbers in Cow Town (2.91, .904). As such, owners would be wise to consider honing in on the 35-year-old in matchups away from the Saddledome, if possible.

Smith will defend the away net Thursday against the Lightning, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The FAN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith has been a dominant force in the goal crease during the last couple of outings, allowing only two goals past in each of the outings and posting a .938 save percentage between the two tilts. He will attempt to tame a Tampa Bay attack leading the league in scoring (3.67 goals per game) this season, looking to extend a four-game winning streak to five.

Smith saved 33 of 35 shots during Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win against Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran backstop has now won four consecutive games with 10 goals allowed, and he's up to an 18-13-3 record with a .921 save percentage and 2.55 GAA for the campaign. Those numbers make Smith a serviceable asset in the majority of fantasy settings, and his recent run has him on the fringe of matchup-proof territory. It's definitely worth noting that Calgary's next three stops on its current road trip are at Tampa Bay, Florida and Carolina. so it's not an ideal upcoming schedule for Smith.

Smith will guard the cage on the road against the Wild on Tuesday, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith is currently riding a three-game winning streak, despite posting a 2.66 GAA over that stretch. The netminder has struggled versus Minnesota in his career, as he has registered a 4-11-2 lifetime record and .914 save percentage. The veteran has performed well on the road this season, however, with a 1.96 GAA as the visitor.

Smith yielded a pair of goals on 29 shots in a 3-2 victory over the Ducks on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran goaltender continues to respond to receiving a lot of work. This is the fifth straight game where Smith saw at least 29 shots, and he owns a .925 save percentage during that stretch. This was just his 17th victory in 35 starts, which is a league high, and his 2.56 GAA isn't spectacular either, but Smith's .920 save percentage keeps him worth using in fantasy lineups.
