Mike Smith Heating Up, Earns Second Straight Win
6 years agoCalgary Flames goaltender Mike Smith was tapped to start consecutive games for the first time this month and responded with his second win in as many games. Stopping 27 of 28 shots that he faced Saturday night, Smith posted the best save percentage he has had since a shutout in early December. Smith looked to be losing ground to teammate David Rittich, but after allowing only one goal in each of his last two starts, he is pushing his way back into the mix. It has been a struggle of a season for Smith and with a .899 save percentage on the year, he was quickly approaching fantasy irrelevance, but as long as he can force a split of starts in Calgary, he will remain useful as a streaming option.
