Arizona has the worst SH% in the NHL. If Smith can't post a decent SV% against them, then we need to know and go get a backup who can. It also creates a chance for him to build some confidence.
Throwing Smith out there into the fire against a good team just because it's a B2B isn't the best way to get him playing competently.
