Arizona Coyotes netminder Mike Smith will draw the start in goal on Thursday as the Coyotes host the Chicago Blackhawks.
While Smith has only gone 11-14-5 with a 2.86 goals-against average on a Coyotes team that has allowed the league's most shots on goal per game, he has actually played reasonably well, and his .917 save percentage is the second-highest mark of his 11-year career.
Our models project Smith for 26.2 saves, 2.5 goals against and a 46.0 percent chance of scoring a win tonight. He is our 11th-ranked fantasy goalie on Thursday's eight-game slate.
