Smith managed just one goal in his last 15 games while chipping in six assists.
EDGE Analysis
Brought over from Vegas in the offseason, Smith struggled to reproduce his 2022-23 numbers when he racked up 26 goals and 30 helpers. The lack of productivity, combined with a $5 million cap hit, could see Smith on the trade block during the summer as the fit in Pittsburgh doesn't seem to be working.

Smith scored a goal on three shots during Monday's 4-2 win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
The goal brings Smith up to 13 on the campaign, his lowest goal total since the 2014-15 season. He doesn't have the same goal-scoring prowess he had in his 20s, and this goal is an exception rather than a late-season surge. It's his first tally in 14 games, though he managed six assists in that span.

Smith grabbed a pair of assists in Thursday's 4-1 victory over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Smith set up Ryan Shea's opening tally early in the first period before adding a second helper on Lars Eller's empty-netter in the third. It's the first multi-point game since March 17 for Smith, who had just two assists in his previous eight games. He's up to 37 points (12 goals, 25 assists) through 70 games this season.

Smith garnered an assist in a 5-2 win over the Rangers on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Despite the helper, Smith remains mired in a seven-game goal drought dating back to March 17 versus the Red Wings. During his slump, the 33-year-old winger has registered just 12 shots to go with two assists, four hits and two blocks. With his offensive game underwhelming, Smith finds himself in a third-line role while Drew O'Connor gets minutes with Sidney Crosby on the top line.

Smith found the back of the net and added an assist in a 6-3 win over the Red Wings on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Smith opened the scoring for his 12th of the year and added a primary helper, both in the first period. The 32-year old third-line winger also contributed a plus-2 rating and three shots on net in 14:45 of ice time. Although he had not scored since March 5, he is now riding a three-game point streak with one goal and three assists over that span. Playing in the middle-six with the Penguins limits his upside for elite point acquisitions.

Smith produced a goal and two assists in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
With his helper on an Evgeni Malkin goal late in the first period, Smith reached the 500-point plateau for his career. The multi-point performance was his first since Dec. 23, but the 32-year-old winger has been a fairly reliable contributor for the Penguins in a top-six role of late, collecting two goals and eight points over the last 10 games.

Smith posted an assist and three hits in Sunday's 6-1 loss to the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Smith has gone eight games without a goal, but he has four assists in that span. The 32-year-old winger is up to 26 points, 104 shots on net, 38 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 53 appearances. Smith is in a middle-six role for the Penguins, though he could be offloaded at the trade deadline if the team can find a contender that can fit all or part of his $5 million cap hit.

Smith logged an assist, three shots on goal, two hits and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
The helper was Smith's fourth point over the last six games. The winger helped out on Erik Karlsson's game-winning tally in overtime. Smith is likely to see a substantially larger role with Jake Guentzel (upper body) and Bryan Rust (upper body) both out of the lineup. Through 50 games, Smith has 25 points, 101 shots on net, 35 hits and an even plus-minus rating.

Smith scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Smith has scored twice in his last four games to reach the 10-goal mark on the season. The 32-year-old is at 22 points, 91 shots on net, 27 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 45 appearances. His first year in Pittsburgh hasn't gone as well as expected, but he'll have a chance to make up for his struggles while Jake Guentzel (upper body) is out for four weeks.

Smith scored his ninth goal of the season in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
In his second game back from an upper-body injury that cost him six contests, Smith snapped a seven-game point drought and an 11-game goal drought that extended back to Dec. 18. The veteran winger is skating on the Penguins' second line with Evgeni Malkin and seeing shifts on the second power-play unit. However, his first campaign in Pittsburgh has been a disappointment, with just 21 points through 42 games.
