Kane (lower-body) has not skated since last week and is now considered "more than day-to-day".

It sounds like Kane will miss his fifth consecutive game on Thursday and is doubtful to play on Saturday. What was originally believed to be a minor injury, continues to cost Kane games. Keep an eye on when he begins skating again.

Smith who did not make his scheduled start last night, is on the ice for the Coyotes' optional skate.

Smith was a late scratch in Tuesday's win over the Avalanche because of an illness. He was obviously not feeling well in warmups as he did not take a shot. Smith's presence at the morning skate is a good sign that he could be ready to start tomorrow against the Islanders.

Smith was scheduled to start tonight but will not as Thomas Greiss takes to the net.

Smith skated around in warmups and did not even take any shots. He is not on the bench as the game starts so Smith must have suffered an injury prior to the game or in warmups. We will get an update as soon as possible.

Smith will be between the pipes for the Coyotes.

Smith gave up three goals on 32 shots in an overtime loss to the Canucks on Friday. After a great start to the season Smith has been struggling lately. In the last month he has won just three of nine starts while posting a 3.27 GAA and .904 SV%. His pedestrian numbers are ones you will likely want to avoid at Colorado tonight.

Kane (lower-body) will not play Tuesday against the St. Louis Blues.

Kane will miss his fourth consecutive game as he continues to nurse a lower-body injury that he suffered on November 29 in Philadelphia. Jets head coach Claude Noel said that Kane remains day-to-day so monitor his status leading up to Thursday's tilt with the Avalanche.

Smith gets the nod on Friday.

Smith stopped 31 of 33 shots in a win over the Oilers on Tuesday. He was given Wednesday night off so he should be well rested and good to go on Friday. He draws a tough matchup when the Coyotes travel to Vancouver. Smith is 5-4-2 with a 3.21 GAA and .914 SV% on the road this season.

Jets on ice this morning in Florida, Evander Kane (lower-body) isn't out there but all others on trip are accounted for.

It appears Kane is in danger of missing a second straight game when the Jets face the Panthers tomorrow. He will have to skate on Thursday morning if he is going to dress, so we will update his status tomorrow.

Henrique (lower-body) is available for tonight's contest with the Canadiens.

Henrique left early and did not return after being injured in Monday's game in Montreal. Henrique who has had a slow start to the season, does have a three game point streak going right now (1G / 2A). He is available, but not officially in the lineup as of now.

Adam Henrique
Devils forward Adam Henrique joined the team’s growing list of injured players when he sat out the third period Monday with what the team is calling a lower-body injury.

Henrique appeared to hurt his leg when he became tangled with Canadiens defenseman Alexei Emelin and fell behind the Montreal net with 2:29 left in the first period. He tried to play through it in the second period, but could not.Henrique was unsure if he’ll be able to play in Wednesday night’s rematch with the Canadiens at Prudential Center. "We’ll see," Henrique said. "We’ll just kind of take it a day at a time here. We’ll see how I feel [today] and go from there."

Mike Smith will look to rebound as they kick off a four-game road trip tonight in Edmonton.

Smith gave up four goals on 35 shots in a loss to the Blackhawks on Saturday. It was the sixth straight game that Smith allowed at least three goals… Ouch. His GAA has inflated to 3.07 during his four game losing skid. Smith is the first one to say he needs to be better and that starts tonight in Edmonton.

No Evander Kane on ice for Jets' morning skate, so it seems safe to assume he won't be in lineup as he deals with lower-body injury.

Kane was injured in the first period of Friday's game and did not return. He worked out off-ice on Sunday, but his absence from the morning skate basically eliminates any chance he had of playing. Chris Thorbburn has moved up into Kane's spot.

Smith back in goal for Phoenix.

Smith was given Wednesday off, but will be back in goal tonight vs. Chicago. He gave up three goals on 28 shots in his third straight loss on Monday. He has a tough matchup to close out a tough month, he went 5-3-2 with a 3.08 GAA and .910 SV% in November.

Kane (lower-body) left today's game and did not return.

Kane was injured in the first period of this morning's game and did not return. He tested it out at the start of the second period, but then retired to the dressing room for the remainder of the game. For now consider him day-to-day until a full injury report is released.

Smith gets the nod for Phoenix.

Smith gave up four goals on 23 shots in Saturday's loss to the Ducks. It was the fourth straight game that Smith has allowed three or more goals, pushing his GAA to 3.02. He catches a break tonight when the Coyotes travel to Nashville to take on the 24th ranked Predators offence (2.26 G/PG).
