I'd play Koskinen. Smith was just OK in his last game. Being in the West, I don't think it's smart to ride one guy, you need more of a platoon so it's important that he gets in. I think with no clear #1, you need to keep the competition going between them. Keep both guys hungry. Koskinen has the contract, he didn't get the opening night start, nor the second start. Smith has 2 wins, he should be motivated. If you play one guy 3 games in a row, you are establishing him as the #1. The Isles don't score a lot and Smith is not a young goalie. He's 37, turning 38 in March. He's got a history of getting injuries at some point in the season. So I wouldn't be using him up early one.

If Smith stood on his head in 2 games in a row, maybe you ride a hot hand given there is some rest in between games but he's been just OK. Keep both guys fresh.
