Coyotes' Smith week to week with lower-body injury

Arizona Coyotes starting goalie Mike Smith has been sidelined "week to week" with a lower-body injury, the team announced Sunday.

Smith sustained the injury Tuesday versus the Ottawa Senators.

Currently on a six-game road trip, Smith returned to Arizona to be evaluated by team doctors. The 34-year-old missed 40 games last season after undergoing core muscle surgery.

In Smith's absence, the Coyotes turn to Louis Domingue, who has struggled to start the season, going winless in three games. The team has also recalled veteran netminder Justin Peters from the AHL.

Domingue gets the start Sunday as Arizona faces the New York Rangers.
