Smith played a solid game, but let in both San Jose's penalty shots in the shootout competition. He now has a 15-8-8 record with a 2.83 goals-against average and .914 save percentage. The Coyotes will play immediately again on Saturday so they will probably start Thomas Greiss then against the Anaheim Ducks.

Mike Smith surrendered a very unlucky overtime goal on Monday.
Smith had the puck lodged in his jersey when he skated back and unwittingly carried it past the line. "I didn't feel it at all," Smith said. "I didn't know what happened. I knew that puck went up in the air but had no idea where it went after that." That spoiled what was a strong contest for Smith, who saved 30 shots in the 2-1 loss.

Phoenix Coyotes goalie Mike Smith ended his skid at three games as his team beat the Ottawa Senators 4-3 in OT.
Smith is 15-8-6 on the season. He probably isn't putting up the kind of numbers that were turn heads for Team Canada, but he's a serviceable fantasy netminder.
