Mike Smith getting the start for the Coyotes

The Arizona Coyotes are starting goalie Mike Smith on Monday versus the Pittsburgh Penguins.

What It Means:

Smith ended a five-game winless streak on Saturday with a dominating performance over the Nashville Predators. He stopped 44-of-45 shots for his first win in two weeks. Monday won't be so easy as the veteran netminder makes a road start against the second-best offense in the NHL.

Our models have Smith as the worst of the four goalie options on Monday as we project only a 27.0 percent chance of winning along with 2.9 goals allowed and 27.7 saves.
