I think Rask may end up getting rested more than Smith, so I'd go with him.
I'm in the finals and I can only start 1 of these 2 for the week. Both teams play back to backs on the 3rd/4th, plus games on the 6th and 8th. All 4 of Smith's games are against the Canucks, while Rask has the first 2 against the Devils and the last 2 against the Rangers. Normally I would say Smith is the easy choice, but I could see him getting some rest this week. Settings are 3 points for a win, -1 for GA, .2 for a save, 2 for SO.
Who are you starting?

I see Smith getting at least 2 starts. Both should be wins. I think Rask starts 1 in NJ then depending on that result, he gets rested for Swayman or Halak. I see no reason why the Oilers wouldn't play Smith for 3 games this week. Good luck
Well I started Smith. He's the backup tonight, and Rask gets the shutout. Not a great start... haha
