Smith stopped 27 of 30 shots in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Smith was a little shaky in allowing the first two goals, but the Oilers took over after that to earn him the win. The 39-year-old has allowed six goals on 100 shots during his three-game winning streak. For the season, he's up to 5-4-1 with a 3.31 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 11 outings. Expect Smith and Mikko Koskinen to split the upcoming back-to-back this weekend -- the Oilers visit the Jets on Saturday before hosting the Wild on Sunday.

Smith stopped 30 of 32 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
The game was much closer than the score indicates, as the Oilers put up a couple of empty-netters at the end. Smith had to be sharp, and he was to earn his second straight win. It's the first time he's won consecutive starts since the first two games of the season. The 39-year-old is now 4-4-1 with a 3.34 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 10 games. The Oilers' next game is Thursday at home against the Ducks.

Smith made 37 saves on 38 shots in a 3-1 win over the Islanders on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Smith had by far his best start of the season in this one, holding down the Islanders to stop a personal losing skid that dated back to December. The veteran netminder has made just nine starts this season, with a 3-4-1 record, 3.50 GAA and .901 save percentage.

Smith is on track to start between the pipes in Friday's home game versus the Islanders, Jason Gregor of OilersNation.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith has struggled of late, suffering back-to-back losses to the Golden Knights and the Blackhawks while posting an ugly 4.00 GAA and .862 save percentage. The 39-year-old netminder will try to snap his personal five-game losing streak dating back to December in a home matchup with an Islanders team that's 8-7-3 on the road this year.

Smith surrendered four goals on 30 shots in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
It's tough to pin many of the goals on Smith, as two came on the power play. The Oilers' offense has gone quiet since Smith returned from a thumb injury -- the blue and orange have been outscored 8-1 in the last two games. The 39-year-old netminder dropped to 2-4-1 with a 3.83 GAA and an .890 save percentage in eight appearances. Next up is a favorable matchup Friday versus the Islanders, who will be coming in off of a 6-3 win over the Canucks.

Smith will protect the home net Wednesday versus the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Smith received no goal support in Tuesday's 4-0 loss to the Golden Knights, but he'll get another turn in goal with Mikko Koskinen (COVID-19 protocols) out. The 39-year-old Smith is expected to handle a starter's workload in the second half of the season after spending most of the last three months injured.

Smith allowed four goals on 28 shots in Tuesday's 4-0 loss to the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
In his first game back from a thumb injury, Smith played fairly well, but the same couldn't be said for his teammates. The Oilers' defense could easily be blamed for the last three goals. Smith has had trouble staying in the lineup due to injuries this season, and he's now 2-3-1 with a 3.80 GAA and an .893 save percentage in seven appearances. The 39-year-old will have a chance to reclaim the No. 1 job in net, though he'll likely back up Stuart Skinner for Wednesday's game versus the Blackhawks. Smith will need to turn in a few good outings before fantasy managers can realistically trust him.

Smith will start Tuesday's game against the Golden Knights, Jason Gregor of TSN 1260 Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Oilers won't have a chance to ease Smith back in as he returns from a thumb injury because fellow goalie Mikko Koskinen was placed in COVID-19 protocols Monday. Stuart Skinner will likely be recalled from the AHL to back Smith up for the first leg of Edmonton's back-to-back set of home games against Vegas and Chicago. Smith's 2-2-1 with a 3.76 GAA and .898 save percentage this season.
