Mike Smith Likely To Start Tuesday
3 years agoEdmonton Oilers goalie Mike Smith will be the probable starter in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals. Smith was lit up in Game 1, giving up six goals on 25 shots before being yanked midway through the contest in favor of 33-year-old Mikko Koskinen. The Kingston, Ontario, native has produced an 8-2-1 record with a 3.12 goals-against-average and a .917 save percentage. He's particularly struggled in Game 1's and has been able to bounce back as the last two series progressed. Colorado also has their goalie questions as starting goalie Darcy Kuemper went down with an upper-body injury, and backup Pavel Francouz will be between the pipes.
