Mike Smith, who was Canada’s third-string goalie, earned a gold medal at his first Olympics. He is the first member of Coyotes/Jets franchise to win an Olympic gold medal since goalie Nikolai Khabibulin, defenseman Sergei Bautin and forwards Evgeny Davydov and Alexei Zhamnov won gold for the 1992 Unified Team.Defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson earned a silver medal playing for Sweden, and forward Lauri Korpikoski earned a bronze medal playing for Finland. Like Smith, Ekman-Larsson and Korpikoski were first-time Olympians in Sochi.Smith did not get into a game, although he did serve as backup to Roberto Luongo in one game - on Feb. 14 when the Canadians beat Austria, 6-0, in the preliminary round.Ekman-Larsson dressed for all six of Sweden’s games but played in only five. His ice time reduced throughout the tournament after Swedish defenseman Alex Edler returned to the lineup following a suspension dating to the 2013 IIHF World Championship. Ekman-Larsson did not get on the ice for Sweden’s semifinal win over Finland and he played only 7:19 – all in third period – in Sweden’s loss to Canada in the gold medal game.Korpikoski turned heads with a solid performance for Finland. He notched four points in six games.The Coyotes, Anaheim Ducks and Boston Bruins were the only three NHL teams who had players win gold, silver and bronze medals.Coyotes forward Martin Hanzal and defenseman Zbynek Michalek represented Czech Republic and were eliminated in the quarterfinals.The Coyotes did not practice on Sunday. The team's next practice is Monday and its first post-Olympics game is at Winnipeg on Thursday.
