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.

What It Means:

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.
