Smith will guard the cage on the road against the Maple Leafs on Wednesday, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith has given up a combined 10 goals in his previous two outings for a .792 save percentage. The 35-year-old could be in for another rough night, as he squares off with the league's third most potent offense (3.5 goals per game) in Toronto. The netminder's performance is likely also being impacted by Calgary's disappointing 75.28 penalty-kill percentage.

Smith saved 16 of 21 shots during Monday's 5-2 loss to Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
This was a poor showing from the veteran netminder, and he's now sporting a discouraging .898 save percentage and 3.36 GAA through his past six outings. Smith and the Flames are in a bit of a tailspin with consecutive losses and a 4-5-1 record through their past 10 games, so it's not out of the question to be selective with his matchups for the immediate future. Road games at Toronto and Montreal are on tap.

Smith will defend the cage for Monday's matchup with Philadelphia, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran netminder was run from his most recent start after allowing five goals on 22 shots in Saturday's loss to Edmonton, with Smith now owning a 2.69 GAA and .920 save percentage. Monday, though, Smith will be taking on a Flyers team that has lost 10 straight games and sit 26th in league scoring, with 2.69 goals per contest.

Smith was pulled from Saturday's loss to the Oilers after allowing five goals on 22 shots.
EDGE Analysis
Smith wasn't actually credited with the loss, as the Flames ended up rallying to make it a 7-5 final. The veteran netminder has been up-and-down of late and seen his save percentage dip to .920 on the season. His 12-8-1 record is fairly solid, as Smith's most valuable fantasy attribute is likely his heavy workload. He's shown the ability to bounce back this season, so chalk this one up as an off night and move on.

Smith will guard the cage in Saturday's home game against the Oilers, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fanreports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith was unbeatable in his last start, turning aside all 28 shots he faced en route to his second shutout of the season and a 3-0 victory over the Coyotes on Thursday. He'll look to stay sharp and pick up his 13th win of the campaign Saturday in a favorable home matchup with an Oilers squad that's only averaging 2.38 goals per game on the road this season, 28th in the NHL.

Smith stopped all 28 shots he faced in Thursday's 3-0 shutout win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Smith was tremendous in his first meeting with his former team since leaving for Calgary this past offseason, and his team helped him out with a 44-28 advantage in shots. The veteran netminder has 12 wins in 22 starts this year after notching just 19 in 55 starts with Arizona last season, so the move has also improved his fantasy stock.

Smith will defend the cage for Thursday's matchup with Arizona, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thursday marks the first time Smith will take on his old team after having spent the last six seasons in the desert before joining Calgary in the offseason. Smith's play has been revitalized with the Flames, improving his GAA from 2.92 to 2.67 and his save percentage from .914 to .921 from last season to this one, though he has stumbled lately. Over his past two starts, Smith has allowed eight goals and posted a .884 save percentage while losing both decisions. That said, Smith will have a great opportunity to get back on track Thursday when the cellar-dwelling Coyotes pay a visit to Calgary.

Smith allowed three goals on 29 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Smith was beaten once in each period before Leo Komarov's empty-netter concluded the scoring with one second left. The veteran netminder benefited from a slower pace after facing at least 40 shots in each of his previous two appearances, but his team fired just 20 shots on goal in this one and didn't get on the board until the visitors had established a 3-0 lead. Smith's winless in his past three appearances after securing six victories over the previous eight.

Smith will be the starting goalie for Tuesday night's contest against the Maple Leafs, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith will be looking to bounce back after allowing five goals in Dallas last time out. To his credit, the veteran keeper has performed admirably despite getting minimal help from his defense lately, as he shows a .927 save percentage in his last four games despite seeing a whopping 150 shots over that time period. He'll look to stymie a Toronto offense that averages 3.48 goals per game.

Smith made 35 saves on 40 shots in a 6-4 defeat to Dallas on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
When Smith plays well, nights like Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Columbus will happen with Calgary's defense. When Smith doesn't play particularly well, this is the result instead. He can't be expected to turn aside almost every shot when he's facing 40 a night. This time, he just wasn't enough to overcome the Flames' failures on defense. He's played well for the past few games, but the team he plays for is a concern.
