Colorado asking Jeremy Smith to stop Edmonton on Thursday
The Colorado Avalanche are starting Jeremy Smith in goal Thursday as they host the Edmonton Oilers.
Smith will be making his seventh start of the season and will still be looking for his second win of the year on Thursday. He owns a 1-5-0 record with a .890 save percentage and a 3.44 goals-against average in seven games played.
Smith is expected to allow 2.7 goals on 28.1 shots face with only a 35.0 percent chance of winning on Thursday, according to numberFire's algorithms.
