Tomas Vokoun made 23 saves for Florida, which has lost three of four, including a controversial 3-1 loss in Toronto on Tuesday night.
Michalek drew Ottawa even at 1 with a short-handed goal 5:20 into the second. Chris Kelly stripped the puck from Florida defenseman Dennis Wideman and went in on a 2-on-1 with Michalek, who one-timed Kelly's pass for his fourth goal of the season.
Fisher put the Senators ahead 2-1 with his third goal at 13:18 and Smith scored his first of the season 1:31 later to make it 3-1.

McCabe put Florida up 1-0 with his first goal of the season 10:02 in. The veteran defenseman took Dennis Wideman's pass in the top of the slot and drove a slap shot past Elliott inside the right post with Nick Foligno in the penalty box for interfering with Vokoun.
Panthers backup goalie Scott Clemmensen was bowled over by Maple Leafs forward Colton Orr on Toronto's winning goal two nights earlier.
