Smith stopped 22 of 24 shots in the Flames win over the Canucks on Saturday. The win snapped a three-game losing streak for Smith, who will start his 27th game of the season tonight in Minnesota. In his first start against the Wild, Smith stopped 28 of 31 shots in a 4-2 loss in late-October.

The Ducks were unable to provide an update on Perry’s status postgame but they can’t seem to get out of their own way. The Ducks just got Ryan Getzlaf back yesterday and they played just 3:49 TOI together before Perry exited the game. Expect an update on Perry’s status prior to Thursday’s game in St. Louis.

Smith allowed one goal on 29 shots in the Flames 2-1 loss in Toronto on Wednesday. David Rittich gave him the night off on Thursday, so Smith gets back in the crease tonight vs. the Canucks. Smith was good on Wednesday, but has now lost three in a row while allowing a combined 11 goals on 77 shots (.857 SV%). Smith has gone 1-1-0 with a 3.58 GAA and .860 SV% in two starts against the Canucks this season.

Smith allowed five goals on 21 shots in the Flames loss to the Flyers on Monday. After shutting out the Coyotes last Thursday, Smith has lost two in a row while allowing a combined 10 goals on 48 shots (.792 SV%). In his first start against the Maple Leafs, Smith allowed three goals on 29 shots in a 4-1 loss.

Smith was yanked after he allowed five goals on 27 shots in the Flames’ 7-5 loss to the Oilers on Saturday. Smith has lost four of his last five starts (1-3-1) while posting a 3.01 GAA, .915 SV% and one shutout. In his first start against the Flyers, Smith allowed four goals on 39 shots in a 5-4 OT win in mid-November. He is a must-start against a Philadelphia team that has lost 10 straight games (0-5-5).

Smith stopped all 28 shots that he faced in the Flames shutout win over the Coyotes on Thursday. You had to expect a great performance out of the Smith against the team he spent over half a decade with and he delivered with his 12th win and second shutout on the young campaign. Tonight will be his second battle of Alberta and he was great in the first meeting, stopping 42 of 44 shots in a 3-0 shutout loss on opening night.

Murray was set to miss his third straight game tonight and the Blue Jackets moved him to IR in order to make room to activate Matt Clavert (upper-body).

After being acquired from the Devils on Thursday, Henrique will draw right into the Ducks lineup tonight. The Ducks did not do line rushes at their morning skate so there is no word who he will play with in his debut. Head coach Randy Carlyle did add that Henrique will see some power play time but wasn’t sure if he’ll use him on the penalty kill right away.

Smith allowed three goals on 29 shots in the Flames loss to the Maple Leafs on Tuesday. Smith has lost his last three starts while allowing a combined nine goals on 110 shots (.918 SV%). Tonight he will start a huge game against an Arizona team that he played for for the last six years. Smith is always a solid daily fantasy play because of the amount of shots he faces, but he’s especially good tonight.

The Ducks are extremely thin at centre with Ryan Getzlaf and Ryan Kesler both sidelined with injuries, so adding Henrique will help them down the middle immediately. Henrique is two years removed from 30 goals and 20 assists (50 points) and has registered four goals and 10 assists (14 points) in 24 games this season. He was averaging 18:15 TOI/GM with the Devils and could see even more playing time in Anaheim while Getzlaf and Kesler are out. He is an interesting waiver add as he should see top line minutes alongside Corey Perry and should see plenty of PP time as well.

Smith allowed five goals on 40 shots in the Flames’ loss in Dallas last Friday. David Rittich got his first start on Saturday, giving Smith some additional rest heading into tonight’s game vs. Toronto. The 35-year-old has gone 5-5-0 with a 3.05 GAA and .902 SV% on home ice this season.

Kulak was a healthy scratch on Saturday but he will replace Matt Bartkowski in the lineup tonight vs. Toronto. Kulak has just three assists in 14 games this season.

Carrick has been a mainstay on the Maple Leafs blueline for the majority of the season but will be replaced by Roman Polak as the Maple Leafs go with a heavy lineup against the Capitals.

Smith allowed one goal on 30 shots in the Flames win in Washington on Monday. Smith has won his first two starts of the Flames road trip and now heads to Columbus with a 6-1-0 record, 1.97 GAA and .946 SV% away from Calgary this season. However, he will have a tough time getting goal support with Sergei Bobrovsky like in the other net.
