Smith gets 31st career shutout in 3-0 win over Vancouver
GLENDALE, Ariz. — Vancouver had a hard time getting a shot, let alone a goal, in Arizona on Thursday night.
Alexander Burmistrov scored his first goal as a member of the Coyotes and Mike Smith earned his 31st career shutout — first this season — in a 3-0 victory over the Canucks on Thursday night.
Smith, who will play in this weekend’s All-Star Game, needed just 19 saves to get the shutout.
Burmistrov’s power-play goal came in his sixth game since being claimed off waivers from Winnipeg and helped give Arizona its first three-game winning streak of the season.
