Mike Smith between the pipes Thursday night for Arizona

Arizona Coyotes goalie Mike Smith will start against the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday night.

What It Means:

Smith enters tonight's contest with a 10-13-5 record, 2.95 goals-against average and .915 save percentage this season. He'll be looking for a third consecutive win on Thursday while taking on a Canucks team that ranks only 26th in the NHL with 2.35 goals for per game.
