Coyotes' Mike Smith: Makes 42 saves in loss during season finale

Smith stopped 42 of 45 shots in a 3-1 loss to the Wild on Saturday.

This was pretty much a perfect microcosm of the season for the Coyotes netminder. Smith saw a ton of shots, made a lot of saves, but Arizona still yielded three goals in the loss, two of which came on the power play. The Arizona penalty kill is ranked 25th in the NHL, so that's been killing Smith's value all season. He made 37 saves on 38 shots at even strength Saturday. Smith ends the season with a respectable .914 save percentage but also a 2.92 GAA. As good as he was at times behind a weak team, Smith was a liability in every statistic but save percentage this season.
