Smith, 33, was with the Coyotes for the last six seasons, but heads to Calgary to address their need for a No.1 netminder. Smith has had injury issues in his career, but when he is healthy he is capable of starting 60-plus games. The veteran netminder has posted a .911 SV% over the last three seasons while regularly facing more shots than most other goalies. Bringing in Brian Elliott last summer didn’t really work for the Flames, but they’re hoping they’ve finally found the goalie they’ve been searching for since Miikka Kiprusoff retired.

Stecher suffered a shoulder injury in Winnipeg on Sunday and will not play tonight vs. the Ducks. With Stecher out, Philip Larsen will draw back into the lineup. Stecher is day-to-day.

Smith allowed three goals on 32 shots in the Coyotes’ loss in Washington on Saturday. Smith has lost five in a row (0-4-1) while allowing a combined 15 goals on 175 shots (.914 SV%). One of those losses came against the Blues, who he will face again tonight—he allowed two goals on 40 shots in a 3-0 loss two Saturday’s ago.
