INJURIES
Good to go Friday
Smith (undisclosed) is in Friday's lineup against the Ducks, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
Impact
Smith was a game-time call for Friday's contest but won't be forced to miss any game action. The 35-year-old has nine points in 41 games this season, including four in his last five appearances.

ROTOWIRE
Questionable for Friday
Smith didn't skate Thursday and is questionable for Friday's contest against Anaheim because he's banged up from Tuesday's 7-2 victory over San Jose, per Amanda Stein of the Devils...
Impact
Smith has three goals, nine points, 47 PIM, 81 hits and 55 blocks in 41 outings with New Jersey this season. If he can't play Friday, then perhaps Nick DeSimone will make his Devils debut after being claimed off waivers from Calgary on Jan. 25.

ROTOWIRE
Lights lamp Tuesday
Smith scored a goal on two shots and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Sharks.
Impact
Smith contributed a goal in the Devils' four-goal blitz over 5:16 during the third period. The 35-year-old Smith has four points over his last five appearances. He's up to nine points, 40 shots on net, 81 hits, 55 blocked shots, 47 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 41 appearances. He's not guaranteed a spot in the Devils' lineup, but he's played fairly regularly as a bottom-four blueliner this season.

Goal, assist in Stadium Series
Smith notched a goal and an assist in Saturday's 6-3 Stadium Series win over the Flyers.
Impact
Smith picked up an assist on Tyler Toffoli's first-period marker before extending New Jersey's lead to 3-1 in the second, swiping a rebound past Samuel Ersson for his second goal of the campaign. It's just the second multi-point game of the year for Smith, who'd gone scoreless in his previous two contests since returning from a 10-game IR stint. The 35-year-old blueliner now has seven points, 73 hits and 50 blocked shots in a third-pairing role with the Devils this season.

ROTOWIRE
Removed from IR
Smith (knee) was activated from injured reserve Tuesday, per the NHL media site.
Impact
Smith, who has missed the past 10 games, will be an option for Tuesday's contest against Nashville. If he plays, Santeri Hatakka or Colin Miller could be scratched. Smith has five points, 47 PIM, 42 blocked shots and 67 hits in 34 outings this season.
FEBRUARY 13
•
ROTOWIRE
Not playing Saturday
Smith (knee) will not play in Carolina on Saturday, per Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.
Impact
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.
FEBRUARY 9

ROTOWIRE
Lands on IR
Smith (knee) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.
Impact
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.

ROTOWIRE
Unavailable Wednesday
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.
Impact
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.

ROTOWIRE
Sustains leg injury
Smith exited Monday's 3-0 loss to Boston because of a leg injury, according to Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.
Impact
Smith will be evaluated when the team gets back to New Jersey. He logged just 2:43 of ice time prior to leaving Monday's contest. If Smith can't play Wednesday versus Montreal, Cal Foote could make his New Jersey debut.

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

Fined maximum amount
Smith was fined $2.864.58 for his dangerous trip to Seattle's Devin Shore on Thursday.
Impact
Smith returned to action Thursday after serving a two-game suspension for slashing Travis Konecny of the Flyers Nov. 30. Smith has only two assists in 22 games this season.

ROTOWIRE
Eligible to play Thursday
Smith has served his two-game suspension and will be available against Seattle on Thursday.
Impact
Smith's return will likely see youngster Simon Nemec returned to the minors considering Smith had played in all 21 games prior to his suspension. The 34-year-old blueliner is averaging just 14:43 of ice time and has never reached the 20-point threshold in his career, so he shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of fantasy value.

Handed two-game suspension
Smith has received a two-game suspension from the Department of Player Safety on Friday for slashing Travis Konecny during Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over Philadelphia.
Impact
Smith was acting in retaliation after Konecny cross-checked him. Konecny received a fine for his part in the incident. Smith won't be eligible to play Friday against San Jose or Tuesday versus Vancouver, but he can return next Thursday against the Kraken. The 34-year-old has two assists, 32 PIM, 35 hits and 19 blocks in 21 contests this season. The suspension is likely to lead to Colin Miller remaining in the lineup. Miller might have otherwise been a healthy scratch Friday because Simon Nemec was summoned from AHL Utica on Friday with an eye toward him making his NHL debut in the evening's game versus the Sharks.

Set for disciplinary hearing
Smith will have a hearing with the Department of Player Safety on Friday after he slashed Travis Konecny in Thursday's game versus the Flyers.
Impact
Smith's actions appear to have risen to the level of supplemental discipline. He took a minor penalty on the play in the third period. If Smith is suspended, the Devils would likely need to make a roster move, as they'd only have five healthy defensemen on the roster.
