What's isn't mentioned here is Smith got by far the easier competition in that time period.
And that's why it's fairly normal to see backups playing back up workloads with higher save percentages on good teams - they're well sheltered and draw in against less difficult opposition. Smith has barely outdone Rittich playing against generally lower seeded teams, also allowing 4+ goals against on more occasions.
