What It Means:

Smith has been solid in his last three starts, posting a .947 save percentage, allowing 2.0 goals per game and tallying two wins. Despite posting a 2.62 goals-against average for the year, Smith ranks ninth in the NHL with a .930 save percentage due to the massive number of shots faced. On Monday he gets to face a Flames squad who has managed the second-least amount of shots per game with 28.1.

Our models have Smith as the second-best goalie option in Monday's five-game slate, with projections of 28.0 saves, 2.5 goals allowed and a 45.0 percent chance of winning.
