Player Notes
October 4, 2008
Mike Smith was terrific in a losing effort Saturday, stopping 39-of-41 shots in a 2-1 loss to the Rangers.

Our View:Smith will likely lose some playing time to Olaf Kolzig this year, and he is playing on a bad team, but the guy has a lot of ability.

The Tampa Tribune reports that Mike Smith will be the lead goaltender ahead of Olaf Kolzig this season for the Lightning.

Our View:He got into 13 games for the Bolts at the end of last season after the big trade and the results were mixed. He had a 3-10 record, a shutout, and a 2.79 goals-against average, but those numbers are basically meaningless because of all the changes that have taken place since then. He's someone a calculated risk for the upcoming season.

Mike Smith had a nice game for the Lightning in their exhibition contest over the Rangers, stopping 38 of 40 shots.

Our View:Smith figures to be the team's backup behind Olaf Kolzig this year.
