Smith (thumb) was activated off injured reserve Monday.

EDGE Analysis

It was Smith's second extended stint on injured reserve this season, as he has been limited to just six games this year in which he is 2-2-1 with a 3.76 GAA. If the veteran can stay healthy, he should at least split the workload with Mikko Koskinen moving forward and could even play his way into the full-time starter gig. The Oilers enter a back-to-back coming out of the All-Star break, so fantasy players can likely expect Smith to start either Tuesday or Wednesday versus the Knights or Blackhawks, respectively.

Smith (thumb) was placed on long-term injured reserve Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

With this move, Smith will be out until at least Feb. 11 against the Islanders. The 39-year-old has appeared in just six games this season while dealing with several injuries. Mikko Koskinen will continue seeing most of the action in his absence.

Smith (thumb) was placed on injured reserve Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Smith is expected to return to practice next week so this move doesn't really affect his return timeline. The veteran netminder has appeared in just six games this season, going 2-2-1 with a 3.76 GAA.

Smith (thumb) has been skating before the main practice group this week.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Dave Tippett is hopefull Smith will be ready to return to practice sometime next week, so the veteran netminder will miss the Oilers' next few contests at a minimum. The 39-year-old vet has gone 2-2-1 while posting a 3.76 GAA and an .898 save percentage through six games this season.

Smith (thumb) will not appear in Saturday's contest against Ottawa, per Jason Gregor of OilersNation.com.

EDGE Analysis

Smith has gone 2-2-1 with a 3.76 GAA and an .898 save percentage over six appearances this season. Gregor adds Smith is likely to "be out a week or two" recovering from the injury. After Saturday, the Oilers don't have a game scheduled until Jan. 20 against the Panthers, minimizing the negative impact of Smith's absence. The 39-year-old missed 26 games earlier this season on injured reserve with a leg injury, so Mikko Koskinen has been the number one option more often than not in 2021-22.

Smith allowed three goals on 32 shots in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Maple Leafs. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

EDGE Analysis

Smith had his strongest start since returning from a leg injury, but he still let in a couple of tough goals. The 39-year-old is 0-2-1 in his last three games. The Ontario native is now 2-2-1 with a 3.76 GAA and an .898 save percentage in six appearances overall. Smith is expected to serve as the No. 1 goalie for the Oilers if he can stay healthy, but that's been a big if this season. Their next scheduled game is Monday versus the Senators, which makes for a favorable matchup for the Oilers to shake off a five-game losing streak.

Smith will guard the cage against Toronto on Wednesday, per Ryan Rishaug of TSN.ca.

EDGE Analysis

Smith has posted a 2-1-1 record with a 3.43 GAA and a .912 save percentage through his four starts this season. His record against Toronto on the road last season was 1-0-1. He logged a 2.97 GAA and a .903 save percentage through those two contests.

Smith (undisclosed) will not dress Monday against the Rangers, per the NHL's media site.

EDGE Analysis

Smith has now missed the last two games but is still considered day-to-day. Mikko Koskinen will start Monday's game while Ilya Konovalov serves as the backup. Smith's next chance to play will be Wednesday against Toronto.

Smith is considered day-to-day with an undisclosed injury, Mark Spector of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith was also considered day-to-day when he ended up missing more than two months of action with a leg injury earlier this season, so at this point there's no telling when he might be ready to return. Mikko Koskinen will operate as Edmonton's No. 1 netminder until Smith is ready to rock.

Smith made 35 saves in Friday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran netminder got beat by Jack Hughes just 98 seconds into the first period to set the tone for the afternoon, and it was Hughes who ended the game in OT, snapping a shot through a screen that trickled into the net. Smith has lost both his starts since returning to action from a leg injury, coughing up 10 goals in the process, and the Oilers may have little choice but to settle into a timeshare between the 39-year-old and Mikko Koskinen until one of them heats up.
