Smith is likely to receive the start for Saturday's game against the Penguins.
Smith gave way to rookie Louis Domingue in the Coyotes' last game Thursday against the Avalanche, which resulted in a 5-2 loss. With a four-game losing streak and losses in 13 of his past 14 starts, Smith simply can't be counted on to deliver promising results Saturday, despite the ratio improvement he's shown in defeat the last few times out.

Smith stopped 34 of 35 shots he faced Monday, but took a tough luck 1-0 loss at the hands of the Kings.
Although Smith has allowed two or fewer goals in four of his last five starts, this was his fourth loss in a row and his 13th loss in his last 14 starts. With the Coyotes looking toward the future there will be a lot of tough nights for the veteran goalie and his fantasy value is as low as it has ever been since he arrived in Arizona.

Smith will start Monday's game against the Kings.
Smith, who has lost his last three turns, remains a risky roll while working behind the low-scoring Coyotes' attack. The team has managed just three goals over its last four contests.

Smith is on track to start Monday's game against the Kings, Sarah McLellan of the Arizona Republic reports.

Smith suffered his third straight loss Saturday against the Devils, allowing four goals on 29 shots.
With the defeat, Smith now has 34 losses this season -- the most in the NHL. While Smith had been playing well of late, the Coyotes don't score much, so Smith has managed just one win in his last 13 games. His .898 save percentage appears to be somewhat improving, but if you're looking for wins, Smith isn't your man.

Smith was excellent Thursday, stopping 42 of 44 shots against Chicago, but ended up with a hard-luck loss.
Meanwhile, Corey Crawford faced only 18 shots on the other end, so the Coyotes clearly didn't hold up their end of the bargain. Smith has now dropped 11 of his last 12 starts, although he's been terrific over the last three.

Smith will be between the pipes for Thursday's game against the Blackhawks, Sarah McLellan of the Arizona Republic reports.
Smith has shown improved performance over his last several outings, but with a feeble Coyotes attack unable to muster much offense, the wins still aren't coming with any regularity. He'll once again be an undesirable play Thursday against the powerful Blackhawks, who will counter with a red-hot goalie in Corey Crawford in their net.

Smith was the game's third star Saturday night after delivering a 33-save performance in a 2-0 loss to Montreal. He allowed just a single goal.
This has been a season to forget Smith who has suffered through an erosion of confidences and success. Saturday's effort was a strong one, but that doesn't change the fact that they've come too few and far between. There is a small ray of hope, though, in his last two -- he's allowed just three goals total against the Habs and Orcas. Maybe he'll save his career, but he won't save your squad.
