Smith, 27 years old, had been playing with the Rochester Americans on an AHL contract.
With the recent influx of injuries, mixed with a limited amount of NHL contracts in Rochester, a move was necessary.
Since being drafted 34th overall in the 2010 NHL Entry Level Draft, Smith has spent his professional career between the ECHL and the AHL.
