Smith fiddles with Crosby's helmet during net-front scrum

Mike Smith will apparently do anything to get Sidney Crosby off his game.
Case in point: the Arizona Coyotes goaltender was caught flicking the back of Crosby's helmet with his trapper during a scrum that developed in front of the net.
Clearly Smith didn't want to fall prey to the 1,000th point recorded by the Pittsburgh Penguins superstar, who entered the game sitting on 998.
The two were teammates on Canada's 2014 Olympic team, so maybe it was all in good fun, although Nick Bonino wasn't taking any chances and stepped right in.
