Mike Smith is ready to go.

The Calgary Flames netminder was activated from the injured reserve list on Sunday, a month after he suffered a groin injury.

Smith was hurt in the closing seconds of a Feb. 11 contest against the New York Islanders, and was originally considered day to day. He's missed the past 13 games.

His return comes just in time, with the Flames sitting two points back of a playoff spot in the Western Conference. Calgary posted a 5-6-2 record in Smith's absence.

In 47 games this season, the goaltender owns a 23-16-6 record with a .921 save percentage.

It remains unknown whether Smith will start Sunday versus the Islanders.
