Mike Smith Earns 22nd Start Of The Year
4 years agoEdmonton Oilers goaltender Mike Smith will start Saturday's matchup against Winnipeg, recording his 22nd start of the season. The veteran netminder had a miserable time a week ago against Calgary, allowing five goals on 32 shots in a 5-0 loss, but it's been a solid year overall for him with 14 wins, a 2.47 goals-against average, a .918 save percentage and two shutouts. Smith faces a hot team here that's gone 5-1-0 in the past six games, so he'll need to be at his very best to avoid posting back-to-back defeats.
