KANATA, Ont. – Surrendering as many goals as the Coyotes did Tuesday is usually a cause for concern, but that’s not why their goaltending position is under scrutiny.
Goalie Mike Smith suffered what looks like a left leg injury in the third period, leaving the game before it unraveled into a 7-4 loss to the Senators in front of 11,061 at Canadian Tire Centre.
The severity of Smith’s issue has yet to be determined with the team calling it a lower-body injury. Smith will be re-evaluated Wednesday in Montreal, the second stop on the Coyotes’ season-long, six-game road trip.
