Smith sets Coyotes' shutout record in win over Avalanche

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Mike Smith set a franchise record with his 22nd shutout, making 22 saves to back Brendan Perlini's goal and help the Arizona Coyotes beat the Colorado Avalanche 1-0 on Monday night.

Perlini scored early in the second period and Smith made it stand, even through a flurry of activity in front of his own net in the final minute.

Calvin Pickard stopped 34 shots for Colorado, but the Avalanche were shut out for the 12th time this season.

Smith got his third shutout this season and the 33rd of his career, including five with Dallas and six with Tampa Bay.
