Smith and Coyotes coach Rick Tocchet before the game — perhaps there is room to ponder the long-term hope. With the Senators pressing late, Lawson Crouse scored into the empty Senators net to ice the game. As much as Kessel has been the butt of many jokes for his less-than-perfect physique — the Coyotes played on that theme throughout the game — the numbers are outstanding. The Coyotes had scored five man advantage goals in their previous two games…Finally, some good news on the power play for the Senators organization. 4-Parade to penalty box: The Senators took five minors in the opening two periods, while earning themselves only one power play.
