EDMONTON A shot at a Stanley Cup late in an NHL career is something to savour. Edmonton Oilers goaltender Mike Smith is a 39-year-old veteran aspiring to hoist the Cup before the end of his career. He s aware of the chance in front of him when the Oilers open the post-season Wednesday against the Winnipeg Jets. Smith isn t the oldest goaltender in this year s NHL playoffs. Craig Anderson, who turns 40 on Friday, backstopped the Washington Capitals to a 1-1 record to open their series against the Boston Bruins. Smith has played 16 NHL seasons and started 618 games. He has made 23 career playoff starts.
