Mike Smith stopped 24 of 26 shots in Phoenix's 5-2 win over Montreal Thursday night. Smith played a solid game and won his second straight game for the Coyotes. He now has a 22-18-10 record with a 2.71 goals-against average and .914 save percentage.

Mike Smith made 23 saves for his third shutout of the season - all in his past 12 starts - and the 27th of his career as the Coyotes defeated the Canucks 1-0 Tuesday night. Smith has now played 52 games this season, which is the most in the NHL. He has a 21-18-10 record with a 2.72 goals-against average and .913 save percentage. The Coyotes need better numbers from him, if they want to make it to the playoffs.

Mike Smith turned away 26 shots as he and the Coyotes fell 4-2 to the visiting St. Louis Blues Sunday night. Smith's goals-against average is now 2.75. His save percentage, .913.

Mike Smith is expected to get the start in goal for Phoenix on Sunday. Smith has had an inconsistent season with a 20-17-10 record to go with a 2.75 GAA and a .913 save percentage. He will face Ryan Miller and the St. Louis Blues as the Coyotes play at home for the first time since February 7.

Mike Smith put forth a strong effort, but suffered a 3-2 shootout loss to Winnipeg on Thursday night. Smith stopped 27 of 29 shots in the defeat, which dropped his record to 20-17-10. His GAA is 2.75 while his save percentage is .913.

Mike Smith will suit up on Friday as Roberto Luongo's backup for Canada's game against Austria. Carey Price was between the pipes for Thursday's win over Norway, but he'll be scratched for Canada's second contest of the Winter Olympics. Smith is the team's third-string netminder.

Mike Smith knows the stakes are high for Team Canada in the 2014 Winter Olympics. "The expectation is (to win) a gold medal," Smith said. "Anything else is a failure. That pressure is fun to be a part of. I think everyone expects us to win gold. It's gotten a lot harder over the years with how good everyone else has gotten and kind of caught up to Canada in a sense, but that makes it that much more fun." Smith made the team, but isn't likely to play in the tournament. Barring an injury, Roberto Luongo and possibly Carey Price are expected to play between the pipes for Canada.

Mike Smith yielded two goals on 33 shots in Phoenix's 2-1 loss to the Stars on Saturday night. Smith gave up a goal in the first and one in the second. Despite a pretty erratic season so far, Smith has only allowed five goals over his last four games, so perhaps the Olympic break is coming at a bad time for him. He has a 2.77 goals-against average and .913 save percentage this season.

Mike Smith will be in goal for Phoenix again on Saturday. He will face the Dallas Stars after he stopped 30 shots he faced in a 2-0 win over Chicago on Friday. Smith has been playing very well heading into the Olympic break and he should be a solid option for the rest of the season.

Mike Smith will be the third-string goalie behind Roberto Luongo and Carey Price for Team Canada in the Olympics in Sochi, but don't discount the possibility of him playing a bit during the Games. That's because Smith is entering the Olympics on a hot streak. Smith, who posted his second shutout of the season when he and the Coyotes edged the Chicago Blackhawks 2-0 Friday night, has now stopped 89 of his past 92 shots, peaking at an important time for the Coyotes and his future Olympic endeavors.
