He's an .889 and .714 in his last 2 starts.
He hasn't turned a corner.

Not saying he has turned the corner. Saying that maybe he is at a point where he can give you adequate back up minutes. Rittich is the starter.
Smith has been a built up and broken down a few times this season. I still like to use the day after the Pittsburgh game as the reset for the team, goalies included. In that time period he is .901 with a GAA of 2.49. I get his game is inconsistent and can be a roller coaster. Just saying I would rather play him than Gillies who has struggled as when this year.
