So if Smith gets lit up tonight, thats a fail on Sigalet's part.

Or he's maintaining his relationship with the goalie (probably the goalie coach's most important job) and not looking at a super small sample size of 3 games without any other context.
Coaches - "Rittich is getting one of the next two games, what one do you want?"
Smith - "I feel good. It's early in the season and we have lots of time off, so I want to go again tonight"
Coaches - "Says here you were terrible last season the game after a shutout, we're going to go with Rittich against the Blues tonight"
Yeah that is really going to go over well with an ultra competitive guy like Smith.
