Brendan Smith was able to return to Wednesday's game after being the victim of a hard hit courtesy of the Kings' Dustin Penner on Wednesday. "I was just in front of the net and didn't even turn, and just got hit by Penner," said Smith. "I'm not sure why it happened, if it was intentional. I was hurting. You're not ready for it, and the puck isn't around, and he's big, too. It was a little bit of whiplash more than anything." Smith added that it wasn't too bad, given that he was able to finish the game.
