Defenseman Derek Morris and captain Shane Doan also scored for the Coyotes, who have earned at least one point in nine of their last 10 contests (7-1-2). Andy Miele notched a pair of assists for his first two NHL points as Phoenix improved to 5-0-1 at home.
Jarret Stoll spoiled Smith's shutout bid with a power-play goal at 16:39 of the third period. Ben Scrivens stopped 30 shots for the Kings, who outshot the Coyotes 18-6 in the final session.
After more than 38 scoreless minutes, Morris got Phoenix on the board with 1:41 remaining in the second period with a shot from the right point that deflected off a defender and past Scrivens. Doan doubled the lead during a power play 1:35 later, when he tipped defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson's shot from the top of the slot.
Chipchura capped the scoring at 5:38 of the third. David Moss made a pass from the bottom of the right faceoff circle that deflected off Chipchura's skate and in.

Chipchura also engaged in a fight with Kings LW Daniel Carcillo, giving him a "Gordie Howe" hat trick. ... Coyotes RW Jordan Szwarz made his NHL debut, registering two shots in 8:16 of ice time. Szwarz was in the lineup in place of C Martin Hanzal, who began serving his two-game suspension for a charging incident against Edmonton on Saturday.
