The Chicago Blackhawks stated they&rsquo;ve activated Smith from injured reserve after he sat out the previous eight games due to a back injury.<\/p><p>Smith is anticipated to return to his position on the Blackhawks&rsquo; fourth line alongside Pat Maroon and Lukas Reichel. He netted six goals and 10 points in 26 matches before suffering an injury in mid-December.<\/p><p>Unlike several of his teammates in Chicago, this won&rsquo;t be Smith&rsquo;s first experience skating in a Winter Classic. He took part in the 2023 Winter Classic featuring the Boston Bruins and Pittsburgh Penguins as part of the Bruins but did not register any points after playing just 5:32 in the match.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Just in time for the Winter Classic, welcome back Craig!<br><br>&#128221;<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ZuZCRbiTXo\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>https:\/\/t.co\/ZuZCRbiTXo<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/8ppncKd6lR\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/8ppncKd6lR<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Chicago Blackhawks (@NHLBlackhawks) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NHLBlackhawks\/status\/1874139354953900247?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>December 31, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>In addition to the 2023 encounter, Smith remained without a goal during the 2020 Winter Classic while playing for the Nashville Predators.
