As per an Arizona newspaper a little hope for Smith owners:
oalie Mike Smith left the ice during a TV timeout with nine minutes remaining in the first period with a lower-body injury. He did not return and is day-to-day.
Smith will travel to San Jose, where the Coyotes will play tonight, but goalie Chad Johnson is expected to be an emergency call-up from the American Hockey League.
The Coyotes don’t think Smith’s injury is long-term.
“Trainer came to me after warm-up (and) said, “Smitty’s a little tight. You might want to keep an eye on him,’” coach Dave Tippett said. “And then a little tight turned into can’t play.”
From Rotoworld : Coach Dave Tippett doesn't believe that Mike Smith's injury is serious.
"Basically we caught it very early," Tippett said. "Hopefully it's nothing that lingers on too long." Smith was forced to leave Wednesday's game early due to a lower-body injury. For the time being, Jason LaBarbera will hold the fort in his absence.
Hope he will back soon I really need him or I will need to trade for a goalie.

Both Yahoo and CBS are reporting that he will be good to go for Saturday's game. Whether Tippett chooses to play him or not, is another matter.

LaBarbera will start tomorrow for #Coyotes with Smith still day-to-day with lower-body issue. Again, Smith not pegged to be out long-term.
Not so fast people:
Backup Jason LaBarbera will get his second straight start in goal for the Phoenix Coyotes as Mike Smith continues to be out day-to-day with a lower-body injury.
The Coyotes entertain the Los Angeles Kings Saturday night. LaBarbera allowed four goals on 34 shots in his previous start this week, a 5-3 loss to the San Jose Sharks.

Dropping him may be a tad hasty. I know it's a 1 year, but....can you hold off a bit? It may be in your best interest.

Any updates as to whether or not Smith will be starting against the Predators tonight?
From Yahoo!:Originally Posted by Russian Rocket 10
Jan 27 Smith (lower body) did not practice with the team Sunday, Dave Vest of the team's official site reports.
Recommendation: He's still considered day-to-day. The Coyotes host the Predators on Monday, so we'll see if Smith progresses enough in the next 24 hours to suit up. Jason LaBarbera would be called upon if Smith can't go.
The Coyotes website pre-game report still calls him "questionable".
UPDATE: Chad Johnson going tonight for the Coyotes!!!
I'm liking Shea Weber's chances of getting his first points of the season.
Yeah, I mean I have no faith in an NFL receiver being able to play goalie in the NHL.

LOL, Clever.
Per NHL.com the Yotes put Smith on IR
Smith is eligible to come off the list for Wednesday’s home game against Edmonton. But he returned to the ice in full gear on Monday for the first time since the injury occurred and he’s not expected to return until at least Friday, when Phoenix is in Dallas for the first of a home-and-home series against the Stars.
I dress him this week my backup goalie is Holtby hope he will be back on friday... my team is starting to heat up I need him...
