After four years with the Lightning, he signed as a UFA with Phoenix in 2011. In his first season in Phoenix he played 67 regular season games and went on to post a .944 save percentage in the playoffs as the Coyotes reached the Western Conference Final for the first time in franchise history. The 6'4", 215lb goaltender has played 474 career games posting a 2.70 GAA and a .913 save percentage.
Smith has won a gold medal on two occasions, representing Canada at the 2014 Winter Olympics and at the 2015 World Championship as Canada's starting goalie, going 10-0 through the tournament.
