Smith was scratched for the seventh straight game when he sat out Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Predators. Matt Dumba (upper body) was unavailable Thursday, but the Stars recalled and played Lian Bichsel rather than have Smith join the lineup. That's not a ringing endorsement on Smith's play so far. The 35-year-old has three helpers, eight shots on net, 11 PIM, 18 hits, 11 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 12 outings, though he hasn't earned a point since Nov. 14. He hasn't played since going minus-4 in a game versus the Blackhawks on Nov. 27.

He's collected two assists, three shots on net, 10 hits, five blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over his six appearances, filling a third-pairing role when in the lineup.

Smith (undisclosed) will probably play Saturday versus Edmonton, but his availability isn't certain, according to Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News on Friday. Smith played through Thursday's 3-2 loss to Washington, but he appeared to be hurt after absorbing a crosscheck during the clash, per Assimakopoulos. The 35-year-old Smith was able to participate in Friday's practice, though, so it seems his injury isn't major. He has no points, two shots, four hits and three blocks across three appearances this season.
