I'm ok with Smith starting. After these 2 weekend games, they are again on a 4 day break between games.

Good to get each guy a start.

I also think with the deadline 3 weeks away, getting Smith some time to build his, the team's, and management's confidence will be key. I get the feeling that has a lot to do with Rittich's confidence so i just don't see the flames looking at goalie options at the deadline.
