Smith did play one back-to-back earlier in the season - but that game was followed by 5 days off. The Flames schedule has allowed them to ride the hot hand.
Not saying coach (or players) have faith, or don't, in Lack. Just saying I think we were about to find that out as the scheduled becomes more compressed later this month.
