Smith has had his share of troubles this season and it's not yet known how much he'll play for the Lightning down the stretch, but after spending some time in the AHL he's prepared for any opportunity he receives. "I went down there and played really well, played my game,'' Smith said. "I didn't win a whole lot, but I felt like myself again, so hopefully I can bring that back up there. I was down (in Norfolk) with the thought that I was going to be there the rest of the year, and if something happens then I would cross that bridge when I came to it. Obviously I'm very excited to be back here and being back with guys that I have gotten so close to and helping this team win." Smith is the handcuff to own if you have Roloson on your roster.
