Mike Smith starting in net for the Panthers on Thursday

Arizona Coyotes goaltender Mike Smith will draw the start for Thursday's road clash with the Florida Panthers.

What It Means:

Smith is 2-3 in his last 5 starts, and has given up 10 goals on 43 shots against in his last two games. He's 16-18-6 with a 2.97 goals against average on the season, though he's sporting a decent .913 save percentage.

Our models project Smith for 29.0 saves, 2.6 goals against and a 35.0 percent chance of scoring a win, making him our 12th-ranked fantasy goalie on Thursday's 10-game slate.
