Smith notched two assists and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 5-0 win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Smith ended a four-game point drought by helping out on goals from linemates Radek Faksa and Sam Steel. Playing in a fourth-line role has put some limits on Smith's offense, but he's done alright with 19 points through 70 contests. He's added 104 shots on net, 46 hits, 29 PIM and a plus-4 rating.

Smith logged an assist in Friday's 4-2 win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Smith's point streak is up to four games (three goals, one assist) after he set up a Sam Steel tally in the third period Friday. The 34-year-old Smith has 17 points, 100 shots on net, 44 hits, 25 PIM, 25 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 65 appearances. He remains in a bottom-six role, but his offense lately should be enough to keep him in the lineup over Ty Dellandrea.

Smith scored a goal in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
This was Smith's third straight game with a goal, an impressive run for a fourth-line winger. The 34-year-old reached the 10-goal mark with his insurance tally in the third period. He's up to 16 points, 99 shots on net, 43 hits, 25 PIM and a plus-1 rating through 64 appearances. With Tyler Seguin (lower body) back in the mix, competition between Smith, Radek Faksa, Sam Steel and Ty Dellandrea for fourth-line minutes is likely to increase again.

Smith scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Smith's offense has been a little more lively than usual lately -- he has two goals and two assists over his last six outings. The 34-year-old winger remains in a fourth-line role, but he's at least been chipping in on offense. For the season, he's up to nine goals, 15 points, 98 shots on net, 43 hits, 25 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 63 appearances.

Smith scored a goal on four shots and added three hits in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Smith snapped a 12-game goal drought, during which he had two assists. The 34-year-old winger is up to eight goals, 14 points, 95 shots on net, 42 hits, 25 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 62 appearances. While he's been in the lineup a majority of the time, Smith exclusively plays on the fourth line and hasn't produced enough offense to make up for that unfriendly role in fantasy.

Smith registered an assist in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Smith was scratched Friday versus the Ducks when the Stars dressed seven defensemen, but he was back in the lineup in a more traditional alignment Saturday. The 34-year-old winger has had the occasional trip to the press box this season, likely a product of the Stars enjoying good health among their forwards. He has two helpers in his last three games and 13 points, 88 shots on net, 39 hits and 25 PIM through 60 appearances.

Smith notched an assist and three hits in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Smith had gone eight games without a point entering Saturday. His shot led to a second chance for Radek Faksa to bury early in the second period. The helper gave Smith 12 points through 58 outings, and he's added 87 shots on net, 38 hits and a plus-1 rating. The 34-year-old winger remains in a fourth-line role, though the Stars' tight cap situation makes it questionable if they'll acquire any forward depth ahead of Friday's trade deadline.

Smith scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Thursday's 9-2 win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Smith scored at 12:31 of the first period, and that goal held as the game-winner, his first such goal this season. The winger has 11 points, 78 shots on net, 25 PIM and a plus-5 rating through 49 outings while playing on the fourth line. He's got some safety in the lineup while Evgenii Dadonov (lower body) is out, but Smith's spot could be in danger if the Stars opt to call up a prospect eventually.

Smith recorded an assist in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Smith has been steady in limited action lately, racking up five points and 14 shots on goal over his last 10 games. He's averaged just 9:39 of ice time per contests in that span. The 34-year-old winger is up to 10 points, 73 shots, 25 hits, 22 blocked shots, 23 PIM and a plus-4 rating through 46 outings overall as a fixture on the fourth line.
