Red-hot Mike Smith back in goal for Arizona

Arizona Coyotes netminder Mike Smith will draw the start for Thursday's road game at the Dallas Stars.

What It Means:

Smith made 34 saves on 35 shots in the Coyotes' win over the Philadelphia Flyers last Saturday. Smith and Louis Domingue have been splitting starts, and Smith gets the call for this one. Since returning to the Coyotes’ crease in early March, Smith has gone 4-1-0 with a 1.20 goals against average, .965 save percentage and one shutout.

On a night with 10 games, Smith checks in as our No. 14 goalie. We project him to allow 3.15 goals on 31.45 shots with a 35 percent chance of getting the victory.
