KANATA, Ont. – The Coyotes opened their season-long, six-game road trip by falling 7-4 to the Senators at Canadian Tire Centre, but that wasn't their only loss of the night.
Goalie Mike Smith left the game in the third period with an apparent left leg injury.
Smith was reaching for the puck as it bounced behind him and seemed to get his left leg tangled underneath his body. He was evaluated on the ice before getting helped off.
Backup Louis Domingue took over with the Coyotes trailing only 3-2, but the Senators pounced with two quick goals.
