Sounds like Smith in net ...

not sure on that one. I get that you need to use two goalies, but after a break and no game until Sunday?

For what it's worth, and sometimes it's not worth anything, Mike Smith in usual starter's net at #Flames morning skate in Washington.

The goalie who's won 10 of 12 and who has a .912 save percentage in those games is starting?

Seems fine to me.

Weird that they wouldn't start Rittich after a week of rest. Maybe he's not feeling well?

Keanu, my fiancee, and I are all celebrating my 27th birthday tomorrow. In honour of that, the prediction is a 7-2 flames win!

Wills just mentioned that Rittich took a shot off the melon in practice as well but is OK.

Says he is pretty sure Smith starts.

Gulp!

This falls into the category of trusting Peters on this call, he’s earned it based on his moves this year.

But it sure seems odd on the face of it.

Isn't Smith much better on the road? I'd rather Rittich too, but Smith has been acceptable recently. Also don't have to worry about OV tonight.

Smith has won 10 of 13, and has a .903 SV% in those games. You can't just omit a two goal comeback game where he was pulled after letting in 4 goals on 14 shots.

Confirmed Smith starts

Wes Gilbertson @WesGilbertson
#Flames G Mike Smith first off at morning skate in Washington. Starts tonight. Feels like big show of faith from coaches to veteran goalie.

Maybe they want him in so he can fight Tom Wilson.
