NHL All-Star goaltender Mike Smith returned to Arizona from the All-Star event in LA, bringing with him his new best friends, the LA Kings.
Despite making acquaintances with his new pals in LA, it was all back to business for Smith, the Coyotes and the Kings as the game got heated and chippy at times.
Arizona and LA went toe-to-toe for most of the game, but a late power play goal off a shady penalty paved the way for a 3-2 Kings Victory.
Scoring Summary
1-0 Arizona - After an excellent forecheck by the Yotes’ 4th line forced the Kings to turnover the puck in their own end, Connor Murphy took a quick shot which Peter Budaj saved.
