Mike Smith suffered the loss while making only 21 saves in the Phoenix Coyotes' 5-2 setback to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday night. After winning 11 straight, the keeper has now dropped two in a row while giving up seven goals (four coming Saturday as the last was an empty-netter). Oddly enough, Smith had yielded one short-handed goal all season but has now two against over his last two games. Phoenix is clinging to first place in the Pacific Division with 75 points and Smith's play will ultimately determine their playoff fate.
