Goalie Mike Smith returned to the Coyotes net on Sunday night vs. Los Angeles at the Staples Center after an illness kept him from starting Friday's game vs. Washington.
Smith was nearly perfect in his return, making 34 saves in a 2-1 win over the Kings.
"It was nice to get back in," Smith said. "I've been battling a little bit of a bug lately, so I think the energy level isn't where I'd like it, but that's partly probably the end of the season and not feeling well for a little while. It was nice to get back in there and get a win and feel good about my game."
