Smith is dealing with an illness and will not get the start on Monday against the Avalanche, Sarah McLellan of the Arizona Republic reports.It doesn't seem as though it's a particularly serious ailment as coach Dave Tippett said Smith still could've played, but they'll turn to backup Mike McKenna to air on the side of caution. The Coyotes have the next four days off, so Smith could be back in net for their next game against the Lightning on Saturday.
