Smith on shutting out Arizona: “I owe a lot to that organization. They took a chance on me when I was kind of bumping around there and really hadn’t found my way yet. I became a No. 1 goalie there in Arizona. I owe a lot to them, but obviously it feels good to beat them."

Smith (cont): "The shutout’s a bonus, but the way we beat them was a lot more rewarding for me. I think the last time I shutout the Coyotes was my first game in the NHL. It’s been a long time since I did that.”

Smith (cont): "I stressed the importance of the game in the preseason and that was kind of the emotional game where it was the first time I played against my former team. That was a game where I was like, ‘yeah, I should play that one.'"
