Smith will guard the goal in Saturday's home game against the Ducks, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith has played pretty well recently, compiling a 3-2-0 record while posting a 2.43 GAA and .928 save percentage in his last five appearances. The 35-year-old netminder will look to pick up a third straight victory in a home matchup with a Ducks team that's 9-6-6 on the road this season.

Smith made 28 saves in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Smith's starting to get more help from Calgary's offense, as he's won consecutive starts despite allowing three goals in each. Moving from Arizona to Calgary this offseason has done wonders for the veteran netminder's fantasy stock -- Smith's just four wins shy of last season's 19 and his GAA is down from 2.92 to 2.57.

Smith will protect the home net Thursday against the Kings, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The FAN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran netminder turned away 34 pucks on net in his last outing to pick up his 15th win of the 2017-18 campaign. While he's served admirably between the pipes of late, a 2.16 GAA and .930 save percentage over Smith's last seven appearances has only resulted in a 2-4-1 record. He could use some offensive support to run his winning streak to two games Thursday versus a Kings club ranking fifth in the league in scoring on the road this season (3.10 goals per game).

Smith allowed three goals on 37 shots in a 4-3 overtime victory versus the Blackhawks on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Similar to last season, Smith continues to excel in the save percentage category. He came into Sunday with a .920 mark for the season, and Smith nearly matched that with his performance versus the Blackhawks. But Smith remains just average in other categories with a 15-13-3 record and 2.57 GAA. Sunday was also just his second win in his last six games.

Smith will guard the goal in Sunday's home game against Chicago, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith has played well recently, posting an impressive 2.06 GAA and .939 save percentage in his last three appearances, but he's compiled an underwhelming 1-2-0 record over that span due to a lack of goal support from his comrades. The 35-year-old netminder will look to keep rolling and pick up his 15th win of the campaign in a home matchup with a Blackhawks club that's 8-9-3 on the road this season.

Smith allowed two goals on 41 shots in a 2-1 loss to the Ducks on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran netminder has played very well since giving up five goals in back-to-back appearances in early December, but he doesn't have much to show for it. In his last eight games, Smith is 2-4-2 with a .935 save percentage and 1.87 GAA. Smith will look to continue playing well and hope for more offensive support against the Blackhawks on Sunday.

Smith will start between the pipes in Friday's road game against the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Smith has played well of late, maintaining a 1.84 GAA and .931 save percentage through his last seven appearances, but he's compiled a disappointing 2-3-2 record over that span due to a lack of goal support from his teammates. The veteran netminder will look to stay sharp and pick up his 15th win of the campaign Friday in a road matchup with a Ducks club that's only averaging 2.53 goals per game at home this season, 28th in the NHL.

Smith denied 32 of 35 shots from the Canadiens at home Friday, but he still took a 3-2 loss.
EDGE Analysis
The Flames went into rally mode by scoring both goals in the third period, though Smith's counterpart Carey Price ended up seeing only 23 shots total, saving 21 of those to narrowly edge the 35-year-old in his own barn. Still, fantasy owners can find solace in the fact that Smith plays often. He made his 31st appearance of the season Friday, and there's value in heavy volume, let alone his tidy .919 save percentage for the season.

Smith will patrol the blue paint for Friday's clash with Montreal, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith recorded his first win in five games Wednesday versus the Blues, as he made 21 of a possible 22 saves. The netminder's individual numbers have been decent of late -- a 1.64 GAA in his last six matchups -- but has been let down by a lack of offensive support. Montreal is averaging 33.9 shots and will look to pepper the veteran with pucks early.

Smith made 21 saves on 22 shots in a 2-1 win over St. Louis on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Smith has stabilized the Flames' defensive situation, as Calgary has given up an average of two goals a game over Smith's past five appearances. This time, he even got the win to show for his efforts, something that has eluded him in close contests this year.
