Smid has been sent to AHL Stockton on a conditioning assignment, Mark Spector of Sportsnet reports.

Analysis:

Smid has only drawn into four games with the Flames this season, averaging 9:55 TOI over that span. Perhaps the conditioning assignment will prove effective and allow him to return to the parent club sooner than later, but we can't see him producing much in the way of offense given that he's only mustered 72 points in 565 career games between the Oilers and Flames.
