With 0.1 seconds left on the clock in Saturday's Coyotes-Red Wings game, Phoenix goaltender Mike Smith scored his first career goal after flinging the puck into Detroit's empty net. Whether or not Smith was actually aiming for the net, he doesn't have to admit it to anyone now....

Last night: Kings over Coyotes, despite the best efforts of Phoenix's Shane Doan, who scored both goals and kept trying to fight a rookie after an accidental collision. So what happened? The L.A. Kings' Instagram profile, like the team's Twitter account always does, brought the sass. ...
