Smith (undisclosed) will play in Friday's game versus the Hurricanes, David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review Journal reports.
Impact
Smith sat out the last seven games with this mystery condition, and he'll return to the top line at both even strength and on the power play. Smith struggled to produce before his injury with just one goal in six games, so he'll look to reverse that trend against the Canes, who have allowed 19 goals in the last five games.
The Golden Knights activated Smith (undisclosed) off of injured reserve Friday, per the NHL's official media site.
Impact
Smith was labeled a game-time decision by the team earlier in the day, but his activation suggests that he will give it a go. If that's the case, look for Smith to draw in on the top line alongside Jonathan Marchessault and William Karlsson. He should also return to his role on the power play, where he's collected 12 points -- four goals and eight assists -- over 45 games.
Smith (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision for Friday's matchup with Carolina.
Impact
Smith has been sidelined since Jan. 8 due to an upper-body injury, but it appears as though the All-Star break may have afforded him enough time to overcome that issue. The 27-year-old winger's status for Friday's game won't be decided until his team takes the ice for pregame warmups, but if he's given the green light, he'll return to a prominent role, skating on the Golden Knights' top line and first power-play unit against the Hurricanes.
Smith (undisclosed) wore a non-contact jersey during Tuesday's practice, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.
Impact
It's safe to assume Smith will miss Wednesday's game against the Predators, but his return to the ice Tuesday suggests he should be good to go following the upcoming All-Star break. Another update on the 27-year-old winger's status should surface prior to the Golden Knights' Feb. 1 matchup with Carolina.
Smith (undisclosed) missed Monday's practice and remains out indefinitely, David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review Journal reports.
Impact
Smith has missed three games with an undisclosed injury and judging by the fact he was not well enough to practice Monday, a return to game action does not appear to be on the horizon for the 27-year-old. Following Tuesday's road game in Winnipeg, the Golden Knights will enjoy three days off before hosting the Penguins on Saturday. The extended rest should help Smith's recovery effort, but the winger's continued absence from practice is not an encouraging sign.
Smith (undisclosed) has surfaced on injured reserve, per the NHL's official media site.
Impact
Smith is one of Vegas' most revered power-play contributors -- he's collected four goals and eight assists through 45 games on the man advantage this season -- so his absence, however long it may be, leaves a sizable void for a key special teams component. The 27-year-old winger will need a quick recovery to come anywhere close to the career-high 60 points that he registered with Vegas last season.
Smith (undisclosed) won't play Tuesday against the Rangers, David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review Journal reports.
Impact
Smith is still considered day-to-day with his undisclosed issue, which suggests he could be ready to return as soon as Thursday against the Sharks. Another update on his status should be released prior to that contest.
Smith (undisclosed) is considered day-to-day heading into Tuesday's matchup with the Rangers, David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review Journal reports.
Impact
Smith's availability versus New York is certainly in doubt, though coach Gerard Gallant didn't officially rule him out. If the winger does miss any time, Brandon Pirri figures to slot into his spot in the top-six, as well as on the power play.
Smith (undisclosed) left Sunday's 3-2 win over the Devils after playing just one shift in the third period, David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review Journal reports.
Impact
More information on the severity of Smith's injury should hopefully come Monday, but until we hear more, all we can do is consider the winger day-to-day.
Smith notched a goal against the Rangers on Sunday.
Impact
Smith is riding a four-game point streak and appears to be shaking off a slow start to the season. The winger has just six goals through the first 34 games, but should still have enough time to crack the 20-goal mark for the fourth time in his career.
