Most back-to-back games in the entire league. Bad season to have Mike Smith as one of the netminders...


I don’t think a backup who went 12-3-4 with a .911 save percentage from the start of the calendar year into the COVID stoppage (pretty much the playoff drive) is the worry. We should be asking if Koskinen can just take the reigns and run with the majority of the games. The back to backs will make it that much tougher but to not have any sort of confidence in Smith is scary since he ended up outplaying Koskinen when it mattered.

The decision to start Mike Smith in the playoffs was based on his history (Best playoff save percentage of all time) and should have been based on Koskinen looking better during the mini camp before the play-ins against Chicago. That was a mistake. But I also wish they gave game 4 back to Smith as Koskinen didn’t really fare much better.
