Smith posted 30 saves on 31 shots in a 2-1 victory against the Capitals on Sunday night.
EDGE Analysis
The 35-year-old is on quite a roll, having allowed fewer than three goals in five of his last six games. He is only 3-3-0 during that stretch, but Smith also owns a 1.99 GAA and .933 save percentage in his last six starts. If he continues to play close to this level, the wins should start to roll in for Smith and the Flames

Smith will be in the blue paint for Sunday's matchup with Washington, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith has been surprisingly good in the 2017-18 season, his first with Calgary. The veteran netminder hasn't finished a season with a goals-against average of less than 2.58 or a save percentage higher than .916 since 2011-12, but 10 games into the new campaign, Smith owns a 2.44 GAA and .927 save percentage. While his opponents scored five goals in their last game, it came Saturday against Edmonton, which means they could have tired legs Sunday.

Smith allowed two power-play goals on 24 shots in a 2-1 loss against the Flames on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The 35-year-old stopped all 20 shots he saw at even strength, but that wasn't enough, as he let two power-play goals slip past him. Even still, owners have to be pleased with Smith's start, as he owns a .927 save percentage this season and a 2.19 GAA in his last five games. With the Coyotes, Smith was only valuable in the save percentage category last season, but with a better defensive team, he has the opportunity to be a decent fantasy starter.

Smith will defend the cage for Friday's clash with Dallas, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith has been relatively stable this season, as he has posted a 5-4-0 record with a 2.49 GAA. In fact, the netminder has allowed two or three goals in seven of his nine appearances. The veteran will look to carry that consistency into his matchup with the Stars.

Smith turned away 28 of 30 shots in Tuesday's shootout win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Smith returned to the win column after picking up losses in each of his last two starts. The veteran has played quite well since arriving in Calgary, posting a .928 save percentage in nine appearances. Smith will be relied on heavily as the starter for the Flames, so take full advantage. He's shown in the past with his workhorse tendencies and quality rate stats that he can be one of the better fantasy goaltenders in the game.

Smith will tend the twine against the Predators on Tuesday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith faces the unenviable task of trying to knock of Nashville at Bridgestone Arena -- a feat few netminders accomplished last season and none have managed in 2017-18. The 35-year-old, however, appears unphased being the visitor, as he is currently 3-1-0 with a 1.75 GAA away from home.

Smith gave up three goals on 31 shots in Saturday's loss to the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
The Flames had a 2-1 lead early in the third period, but the Wild turned on the burners and completely outplayed them for a comeback victory. Smith has started all eight games for Calgary this season, posting a solid .927 save percentage. The veteran is a workhorse and rarely sees a night off, so given his quality play so far, Smith makes for a great play in almost all fantasy formats.

Smith will make his eighth consecutive start Saturday, fielding shots from the visiting Wild, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Calgary's leading backstop split his last two decisions against the Canucks and Hurricanes, respectively, allowing only four goals over 62 combined shots. Smith's current save percentage of .930 will be tough to sustain, but he'll make for a steady plug-and-play fantasy option so long as he stays consistent behind a robust defensive core.

Smith allowed two goals on 33 shots in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Smith didn't play poorly, but was beaten by Jeff Skinner at even strength and Justin Williams on the power play. Moving from an inexperienced Coyotes team to a more defensively-responsible Flames squad in the offseason has made a major difference for the veteran netminder, who sports a 2.51 GAA and .930 save percentage through seven games with his new club after finishing at 2.92 and .914 last season.

Smith will assume the home net versus the Hurricanes on Thursday, Roger Millions of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
This will be Smith's second start against an Eastern Conference foe since joining the Flames through a trade with the Coyotes in June. Naturally, he's fared much worse in clashes with opponents not aligned within his own conference -- he's gone 121-106-33 with a 2.54 GAA and .918 save percentage in 272 games against the West, compared to a 2.91 GAA and .906 save percentage over 208 career matches against teams in the opposite half of the league.
