Smith allowed three goals on 34 shots face Tuesday in a 4-1 loss to the Ducks. It was Smith's ninth loss in a row, despite the fact he let in fewer than four goals for the first in three starts. With Coyotes clearly committed to a rebuilding effort, Smith is likely to have a tough time the rest of the way, but considering his 3.33 goals against and .894 save percentage this year you probably gave up on him a while ago.
