Mike Smith stopped 31 of 34 shots as his Phoenix Coyotes defeated the New Jersey Devils 5-3 Thursday. Smith pushed his record to 3-2-2 with the victory as he has been fairly solid overall for the Coyotes in the early going. His save percentage of .914 and his 2.68 GAA haven't been Bryzgalov-like for the Coyotes, but then again Ilya Bryzgalov has not played well in Philadelphia this season either. Smith is the Coyotes top goalie at this time and makes a good third goalie in deep pools.
