Head coach Andrew Brunette labeled Smith (lower body) as a game-time decision for Tuesday's home matchup against San Jose, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.
Smith has missed 11 consecutive games due to his injury -- he last suited up Dec. 21 versus the Kings. If the 29-year-old is able to return Tuesday, he'll likely slot in on the fourth line. The Minnesota native has chipped in two goals and three helpers through 34 appearances this season.

Brunette isn't yet sure whether Smith will be available for Tuesday's game against San Jose, but he said that if the 29-year-old can't return against the Sharks, he's unlikely to miss much more time.

Smith notched an assist and three shots on goal in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.

The 29-year-old Smith has remained in a bottom-six role throughout the year, adding heavy play to the lineup.

Predators' Cole Smith: Nabs helper Sunday
Smith notched an assist in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Canucks.
Smith has two points over his last three games after going eight contests without getting on the scoresheet. The 29-year-old's offense is likely to remain limited since he plays almost exclusively on the fourth line with no power-play time. Smith is up to four points, 18 shots on net, 46 hits, 13 PIM and a minus-7 rating through 19 appearances.

Predators' Cole Smith: Lights lamp in overtime loss
Smith scored a goal, logged two hits and went plus-2 in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Oilers.
Smith snapped an eight-game point drought with his third-period tally, which salvaged a standings point for the Predators. The 29-year-old winger has done little on offense this season with three points through 17 contests while filling a bottom-six role. He's added 14 shots on net, 43 hits, 13 PIM and a minus-6 rating. Smith offers plenty of grit and appears to have the upper hand to stay in the lineup over Mark Jankowski even if he doesn't score much.

Predators' Cole Smith: Deals shorthanded helper Friday
Smith logged a shorthanded assist, two shots on goal and two PIM in Friday's 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.
The helper was Smith's first point in seven games this season. He had the secondary assist on Gustav Nyquist's game-tying goal in the second period. The 28-year-old Smith plays a physical role on the Predators' fourth line. He's racked up 14 hits, eight PIM, seven shots on net and a minus-7 rating this season. He has the potential to rack up 200-plus hits in a campaign, but he set a career high with 23 points over 80 regular-season contests in 2023-24, and that likely represents his ceiling.

Predators' Cole Smith: Resting Saturday
Smith will not play in Saturday's tilt versus the Blue Jackets due to roster management reasons.
That has been the Predators' phrasing for when they are resting players, so it's safe to assume Smith is just getting a breather before the playoffs. The 28-year-old has no points over six games in April, and he's at 23 points, 233 hits, 111 shots on net and 63 PIM through 79 contests overall.

Predators' Cole Smith: Bulges twine in Saturday loss
Smith scored his ninth goal of the season in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Avalanche.
Smith opened the scoring just 3:41 into the first period, but the Preds ultimately couldn't hold off the red-hot Avs. With 23 points in 73 games, Smith has been a solid source of secondary scoring from the team's fourth line, where he skates alongside Michael McCarron and Kiefer Sherwood.

Smith scored a goal on two shots and added six hits in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Golden Knights.
This was Smith's second tally in the last three games. He tipped in a Michael McCarron shot late in the second period for what ended up being the game-winning goal. Smith has a career-high 19 points with 83 shots on net, 172 hits, 54 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 55 outings overall. He's mostly filled a bottom-six role, though his physicality may draw interest in deep fantasy formats.

Predators' Cole Smith: Agrees to two-year extension

Smith logged an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Stars.
Smith snapped a six-game point drought with the assist. Prior to the slump, he had put together a five-game point streak. The 28-year-old remains in a bottom-six role, so consistent offense is unlikely to be the norm for him. He's produced 16 points -- one off his career high -- while adding 59 shots on net, 103 hits, 37 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 39 appearances.

Predators' Cole Smith: Won't play Tuesday
Smith (illness) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Blackhawks.
Smith can be considered day-to-day for now. The 28-year-old's absence opens the door for Tyson Barrie to draw back in as Nashville goes with seven defensemen. The Predators' next game is Thursday versus the Lightning.

Predators' Cole Smith: Garners helper in win
Smith logged an assist and six hits in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Sabres.
Smith had the secondary helper on linemate Yakov Trenin's first-period marker. The assist ended a four-game point drought for Smith, who hasn't scored while adding four helpers over his last eight outings since a two-goal game Nov. 18. The 28-year-old winger is at nine points, 60 hits, 29 shots on net, 28 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 24 appearances. He's on pace for a career year, but he's mainly just a physical presence on the third line.

Predators' Cole Smith: Two tallies including GWG
Smith scored two goals, including the game-winner, on three shots while adding three hits and a plus-1 rating in Saturday's 4-2 win over Chicago.
It's the second two-goal performance of the season for the 28-year-old checking winger, but those are his only tallies in 16 games, and he has only one assist. Smith won't add much offense, but with 42 hits already in 2023-24, he's on pace to top 200 for the first time.
