Watched Mike Smith walk out of the dressing room without a limp, which is good news. Really bad groin pulls can make it hard to walk, which didn't appear to be an issue.
Smith was injured in the final seconds of the Flames’ 3-2 win against the New York Islanders on Sunday when he stopped a shot from John Tavares, and needed to be helped off the ice with an apparent lower-body injury.
He is officially listed as day-to-day. In the meantime, backup goalie David Rittich will fill in, while the team also announced the emergency call-up of Jon Gillies from AHL Stockton.
