I'm trying to decide if the Flames are toying with the idea of keeping Smith as the backup for the playoffs. Starting him against a tough team like the Capitals is a good test for that.

Both guys were getting a game this weekend with 2 of them 40 hours apart.
Washington has been struggling, minus Ovi...this made sense for Smith while Rittich gets Sunday afternoon and a Carolina team who has been pretty good lately and want some payback from the last game before the break.
