Mike Smith will defend the post as Arizona visits St. Louis

The Arizona Coyotes are starting Mike Smith in goal on Monday as they face the St. Louis Blues.

What It Means:

Smith has had some bad luck as of late as he has lost four consecutive starts, but that comes with a .923 save percentage and a 2.80 goals-against average. He may get a bit of a break on Monday as the Blues rank 27th in the NHL in shots per game -- 28.1.

numberFire's models project Smith for 2.9 goals allowed, 27.6 saves and a 26.0 percent chance of winning.
