Smith was scheduled for a consultation with team physicians on Tuesday afternoon, the results of which have not been made public - but for his part, Smith feels almost ready to go.

“I’ve done a lot of shooting the past couple of days and I feel confident with it,” Smith said after the Leafs' gameday skate, “The strength is good. I’m just working on a bit of contact and I’m just trying to feel comfortable. It feels good.”
The Maple leafs have been on quite a roll, posting an 11-5-3 record since that loss to the Panthers on December 17th, the 14 points placing them right in the thick of the playoff race, currently a solid 4th seed in the Eastern Conference Standings.
Smith's estimation of his return period places him as a possibility of lining up against the Panthers on Thursday night - and if not then, perhaps on Saturday night when the Leafs' host the Ottawa Senators.
The 28-year-old has four goals and nine total points in 25 games played this season.
