Disappointing start, an .870 sv percentage nominally drops Smith's save percentage. Not a bad start by Smith standards, but if he is going to aspire to an .880 save percentage (or dare to dream an .885 save percentage) he needs to start rolling some Smith quality .900 starts where he lets 3 goals in on 30 shots. I am sure Peters will continue to give Smith the bulk of the starts though. After Rittich gets the win on Saturday we should be primed for a few Smith losses against Vegas and the Jets.
