Coyotes goalie Mike Smith will return to the ice tonight against the Oilers after being out since mid-December following surgery on a core muscle injury.
“It was an injury you just have to make sure he can play,” coach Dave Tippett said. “He has to make sure he can get out there and do the things he’s capable of doing. Talked to him after the game last night, asked him if it’s time yet and he said he’d like to give it a try.
