Coyotes goalie Mike Smith will start tonight against the Kings after backing up Friday because he wasn’t feeling well.

“Mike wants to play,” coach Dave Tippett said. “He’s had a couple down days, but he wants to get back in and get playing.”

Defenseman Kevin Connauton is likely to return tonight after missing the last 15 games with an upper-body injury.

“We’ll go through warm up and make sure he’s all right,” Tippett said. “But I think he’ll play.
