by from on (#26D5B)
Florida Panthers forward Reilly Smith will be out the next 7-to-10 days with a concussion, head coach Tom Rowe said, according to George Richards of the Miami Herald.
Smith suffered the injury after taking a heavy hit by Detroit Red Wings defenseman Niklas Kronwall early into the second period of the team's 4-3 shootout loss on Friday.
The club's timetable means the 25-year-old can expect to miss the Panthers' next three games following the Holiday break.
Through 34 games this season Smith has managed six goals and 14 points.
