EDGE Analysis

It was announced that Smith could miss several weeks and now it's official that he'll be out for a minimum of 10 games. It's unclear what the 38-year-old is dealing with, but he won't be eligible to return from LTIR until at least Feb. 6 against Calgary. Stuart Skinner will handle the backup duties in his absence.
