Smith allowed three goals on 31 shots in Monday's 3-1 loss against the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Smith has allowed three or more goals in nine of his past 12 appearances which isn't great news playing for the team with the NHL's second-worst goal differential. The Coyotes do not provide nearly enough offensive support to mask his goals allowed, so he is only worth keeping around as a low-end No. 2 in deeper fantasy leagues.

Smith is slated to start Monday's road game against the Predators, the Coyotes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith, who stopped 38 of 40 shots in a 3-0 loss to St. Louis on Saturday, is in line to make his 49th start of the season Monday. He's dropped his last two decisions, while the Predators had a three-game roll halted by Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Hurricanes.

Smith turned aside 38 of the 40 shots he faced in Saturday's 3-0 loss against the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Smith actually looked pretty good, yielding just a power-play goal and an even-strength goal. As has been the case most of the season, the Coyotes offense did not lend much of a helping hand, getting outshot 16-3 in the first period to set the tone for the entire game. The All-Star continues to be a decent low-cost option in DFS play when the matchup is favorable, but don't expect much in the way of offensive support from the league's 29th-ranked team in goal differential.

Smith will tend twine as Saturday's home starter versus the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Smith allowed four goals on 33 shots on the way to a shootout against the Red Wings on Thursday, so he'll vie for a tidier performance Saturday, this time facing a St. Louis squad that's gone 6-2-0 for 12 points in March.

Smith surrendered four goals on 33 shots before losing to Detroit in the shootout at home Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The odds were stacked against Smith with the Coyotes getting whistled for seven penalties; yeah, Detroit is dead last on the man advantage, but they actually converted on two of their man-advantage opportunities in this one. Still, the Coyotes led a balanced attack and sent the game into the final sequence. Unfortunately for the veteran, none of the Coyotes were able to solve Petr Mrazek and Smith ended up kicking in a shootout attempt from Gustav Nyquist. If you're in position for the fantasy playoffs, chances are you haven't been relying on Smith as your top option in goal; he's 18-20-7 with a 2.93 GAA and similarly underwhelming .914 save mark.

Smith will start between the pipes in Thursday's home game against the Red Wings, Sarah McLellan of the Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith was razor-sharp in his last start, stopping all 22 shots he faced in Monday's 1-0 victory over the lowly Avalanche. The 6-foot-4 netminder will look to stay hot and pick up his 19th win of the campaign in a favorable home matchup with a struggling Red Wings club that has lost six of its last seven games.

Smith stopped all 22 shots in a 1-0 win over the Avalanche on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Brendan Perlini's 13th goal 3:49 into the second period was all Smith would need for his third shutout of the season. With 18 wins and a 2.93 GAA, he's certainly not the most productive fantasy asset, but his frequent usage and decent .914 save percentage give him modest value in the deepest of leagues.

Smith will be between the pipes for Monday's game against the Avalanche, Sarah McLellan of the Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though he's conceded four or more goals in four of his last six appearances, Smith still seems to have the support of coach Dave Tippett. Smith has come away with just one victory during that stretch, but despite his struggles, he might make for a decent lineup option against the reeling Avs, who haven't found the net more than twice in a single game since Feb. 25.

Smith will start in goal Saturday against the visiting Devils, NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Devils are desperately trying to put an end to a nine-game losing skid for which they've totaled only 15 goals. Hockey life hasn't been much better for Smith, though, as he's dropped four consecutive decisions, including an overtime loss to the Senators on Thursday. Smith is 3-2-3 with a 2.70 GAA and .914 save percentage lifetime against the Devils -- to be fair, that's a small sample size given that he's been in the league for 10 years and counting.

Smith's 28 saves weren't enough in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Smith was outplayed by counterpart Mike Condon, who made 39 stops. The veteran netminder has lost five straight starts for a Coyotes squad that has been demonstrably worse than every other team except the Avalanche. He had a golden opportunity to put an end to that streak with a 2-1 lead heading into the third period, but Erik Karlsson beat him once in regulation and again in overtime to dash those hopes.
