Smith made 34 saves on 35 shots in the Coyotes 1-0 loss to the Kings on Monday. Louis Domingue started on Thursday, but it looks like Smith will go tonight vs. Pittsburgh. Despite posting a nice 2.16 GAA and .938 SV% in March, he is just 1-5-0 in those six starts.

Smith allowed two goals on 34 shots in the Coyotes shootout win over the Canucks on Thursday. It was his first win since February 9th. Maybe the Coyotes should consider wearing the throwbacks every night? 2014-15 has been a struggle and their lineup is definitely below average, so avoid Smith tonight vs. the Habs.
