There isn't a single person with even a base understanding of statistics or probabilities who would believe that this kind of record is sustainable in front of a goalie with an overall save percentage below .890. Or a HDSA below .800. That's 40th among goalies with 500 minutes, btw. Smith's inability to make easy saves isn't his only problem. He doesn't make enough difficult ones either.
