Smith (back) will not be in the lineup versus Detroit on Friday, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Smith previously missed eight games with a back injury and seems to be dealing with the same issue once again.

Blackhawks' Craig Smith: Misses practice Thursday
Smith missed practice Thursday due to a back injury, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio reports.
Smith missed nine games a month ago with back woes and it could be a recurrence of that injury. Smith has six goals and 11 points in 30 games this season and should be considered questionable for Friday's tilt in Detroit. Should Smith be unable to go, look for Philipp Kurashev to draw back into the lineup.

Blackhawks' Craig Smith: Picks up assist
Smith logged an assist in Friday's 4-2 win over the Canadiens.
This was Smith's second game since returning from a back injury that cost him eight contests. He's resumed his usual fourth-line role, so he'll have minimal upside in fantasy. For the season, the 35-year-old winger is at 11 points, 56 shots on net, 20 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 28 appearances.

Smith was placed on injured reserve Dec. 20, retroactive to Dec. 12, but he'll make his return for the Winter Classic at Wrigley Field. The right-shot forward has missed eight consecutive games and nine of the past 10. Smith will more than likely serve in a fourth-line capacity Tuesday.

Smith has missed the last four games with the injury. He has six goals and 10 points in 26 games with Chicago this season. Consider Smith day-to-day at this time since he's already missed the required number of games to be activated whenever cleared to play.

Smith (back) is not practicing Friday after missing the last 12 minutes of Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Islanders, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Smith missed Monday's game against the Rangers with a back issue, so it's likely a recurrence of the same injury. Smith has six goals and four assists over 26 games this season, including one goal on the power play. He should tentatively be considered day-to-day ahead of Saturday's road game in New Jersey.

Blackhawks' Craig Smith: Power-play tally in loss
Smith scored a power-play goal on five shots in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Smith has racked up four points over his last five games. His goal Sunday was his first power-play point of the season, though he's regularly seen time on the second unit. The 35-year-old winger is up to six goals, 10 points, 42 shots on net, 17 hits, 16 PIM and 15 blocked shots over 22 appearances. Smith has been a steady veteran on the fourth line and could draw some interest in deep fantasy formats for his recent scoring success.

Blackhawks' Craig Smith: Lights lamp in Thursday's win
Smith scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Panthers.
Smith tallied midway through the second period on a short breakaway, and his goal stood as the game-winner. The winger found some success in late October, but this goal snapped a seven-game point drought. The 35-year-old is now at five tallies, two assists, 31 shots on net, 12 hits, 12 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 18 appearances. He's primarily been a fixture on the fourth line aside from a couple of healthy scratches early on.

Blackhawks' Craig Smith: Pots goal in shootout win
Smith scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Kings.
Smith is doing well in a fourth-line role lately. He's earned four goals and two assists over his last seven games, accounting for all of his offense through 10 appearances. The winger has added 18 shots on net, eight hits, nine blocked shots, four PIM and a minus-2 rating. Smith's play has helped him earn a spot on the second power-play unit, though he has yet to pick up a point with the man advantage. He hasn't regularly seen power-play time since the 2021-22 campaign.

Blackhawks' Craig Smith: Points in three straight games
Smith logged an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.
Smith has found a little chemistry with Lukas Reichel on the fourth line early in the campaign. The 35-year-old Smith has three goals and two assists over his last five games, accounting for all of his offense through eight outings this season. The winger has added 15 shots on net, eight hits, eight blocked shots and a minus-2 rating. Smith's offense will likely fade given his role on a rebuilding team, but he may be worth a look as a streaming option for Thursday's game against the Sharks.

Blackhawks' Craig Smith: Scores in loss
Smith scored a goal on two shots and blocked four shots in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Predators.
Smith has three goals this season, all of which have come over his last three games. The 35-year-old winger continues to play in a fourth-line role when he's in the lineup, limiting his scoring potential. He's added 12 shots on net, six hits, seven blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through six appearances.

Blackhawks' Craig Smith: Scores both goals in loss
Smith scored twice on five shots and added four hits in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Sabres.
Smith's goals were separated by 6:20 in the middle of the second period. The 35-year-old winger has been a part-time option for the Blackhawks this season, but he was in the lineup for a third straight game due to the absences of Joey Anderson (illness) and Patrick Maroon (lower body). Smith had 20 points in 75 regular-season outings in a similar bottom-six role with the Stars last year, though the Blackhawks' offense is not nearly as deep or productive, so it wouldn't be surprising to see his scoring drop in 2024-25.
