Mike Smith back in goal for Arizona
Arizona Coyotes goalie Mike Smith draws a tough road start at the St. Louis Blues.
Smith stopped all 31 shots he faced in the Coyotes’ shutout win over the Washington Capitals on Saturday. Smith has won three of his last four starts while posting a 1.50 goals against average, .953 save percentage and one shutout in that span. In his first start against the Blues, Smith allowed three goals on 21 shots in a 4-1 loss. St. Louis has won five of their last six games.
Our models project Smith to allow 2.64 goals on 31.89 shots with a 31 percent chance of getting the win. He's our seventh-ranked goalie for Monday's five-game slate.
