Smith (upper body) is expected to miss more time after exiting Sunday's game versus the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

The Hurricanes didn't term it a concussion, but Smith blocked a shot up high. The 33-year-old defenseman isn't expected to resume on-ice activities in the next few days, so it's safe to assume he won't be in the lineup again in February. A specific timeline has yet to be officially announced.
