Smith (knee) will not play in Carolina on Saturday, per Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.

Smith was injured in the first period in Boston on Jan. 15 and has missed the last eight games. The good news is that coach Lindy Ruff said Smith is day-to-day. Smith could return to the lineup as early as Monday when the Devils host Seattle.

Smith (knee) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Smith's placement on IR was made retroactive to Monday, so he'll be eligible to return next Thursday against the Hurricanes, although it remains to be seen if he'll be healthy enough to play in that contest. With Smith on the shelf, Santeri Hatakka was promoted from AHL Utica on Thursday.

Smith is dealing with a sprained knee and will miss "a little bit of time" as a result, coach Lindy Ruff told Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Smith has a goal, five points, 48 hits and 42 blocks in 34 games this season. He sustained the injury during Monday's 3-0 loss to Boston. With Smith unavailable Wednesday versus Montreal, Cal Foote is projected to make his Devils debut after being recalled from AHL Utica on Tuesday.

Smith exited Monday's 3-0 loss to Boston because of a leg injury, according to Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.

Smith found the back of the net in a 6-2 victory over Ottawa on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Smith's marker came early in the third period to increase New Jersey's lead to 5-1. It was his first goal and third point in 27 contests this season. The 34-year-old defenseman is unlikely to pick up the pace offensively, but he is noteworthy in terms of hits and blocks with 42 and 32, respectively, in 2023-24.
