Mike Smith (undisclosed) leaves after 2nd
Mike Smith - G - Phoenix Coyotes
March 22, 2013 - 12:30 AM ET

Mike Smith was replaced in net for the start of the third period Thursday due to an undisclosed injury.

Alexander Edler ran Smith behind the net very late in the second period, so Smith is most likely feeling the aftereffects of the charge that prompted a five-minute major. Smith had been pretty stingy against the Canucks, giving up one goal on 17 shots. Jason LaBarbera relieved Smith for the final frame.
