Smith scored twice in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Smith has three goals over his last two games. The Golden Knights shuffled their lines for this contest, putting Smith alongside Mitch Marner and Brandon Saad on the second line. Smith is up to eight goals, 13 points, 43 shots on net and a minus-9 rating through 38 appearances, and his recent uptick in offense should be enough to keep him out of the press box for a while.

Smith scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Smith's goal tied the game at 3-3 with 4:05 left in the third period. The winger has been in the lineup most of the time, but he's prone to being a healthy scratch as the Golden Knights have shown little hesitation to rotate players while carrying 14 healthy forwards on the roster. Smith has five points over his last eight outings and a total of six goals, five assists, 41 shots on net and a minus-9 rating across 37 appearances this season.

Smith scored a goal, added an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
This was Smith's first multi-point effort since Nov. 15. The 34-year-old winger has three points over his last three games, which should be enough to help him stay in the lineup as the team deals with some injuries. For the season, Smith has five goals, four helpers, 36 shots on net and a minus-4 rating through 32 appearances.

Smith scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Smith snapped an 11-game point drought with the tally. He was scratched three times in that span, and he's likely only in the lineup because the Golden Knights are dealing with a handful of injuries. The 34-year-old winger has received less ice time and has shown less consistency than in past years. He's at seven points, 34 shots on net, 13 hits, eight blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 30 appearances, production that won't make him a player to roster in fantasy.

Smith scored a power-play goal in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Smith has two goals and two helpers over his last three games. The tally Sunday was his first power-play point of the season, as he's mostly been limited to working on the second unit if he gets any time with the man advantage at all. The veteran winger is still at a pedestrian six points, 20 shots on net, 11 hits and a minus-3 rating through 18 appearances, which isn't strong enough production to warrant a spot on most fantasy rosters despite his recent uptick in scoring.

Smith logged two assists and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Smith has three points over his last two games for his most productive stretch of the season so far. The 34-year-old winger is up to two goals, three helpers, 19 shots on net, 10 hits and a minus-2 rating over 17 appearances. The Golden Knights have kept him pretty firmly in a third-line role throughout the season, so it's tough to expect much more out of Smith going forward.

Smith scored a goal in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
This was Smith's first goal since Oct. 9 versus the Sharks. The 34-year-old winger has predictably played a smaller role in 2025-26, working on the third line and second power-play unit. Smith is at three points, 19 shots on net, 10 hits and a minus-4 rating through 16 appearances. While he's been an effective depth scorer in the past, that's unlikely to be the case this year unless injuries to other players force him into a bigger role.

Smith scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Alex Nedeljkovic went out to near the blue line to play a loose puck, but Smith was able to get a stick on it. Shea Theodore corralled the bounce and fed Smith for the goal into the unoccupied net, completing an improbable win for the Golden Knights. The tally was Smith's first point through two games this season, and he's added four shots on net, one hit and one blocked shot. The 34-year-old winger is in a middle-six role and on the second power-play unit, but his age and declining ice time may make it tough for him to reach the 40-point mark for the fourth year in a row.

Smith signed a one-year, $2 million contract with the Golden Knights on Wednesday, per Chris Johnston of The Athletic.
EDGE Analysis
Smith's new deal includes a no-trade clause, which was probably of particular importance in this case because Vegas traded Smith in June 2023, though the Golden Knights then reacquired him during the 2024-25 campaign. He had 13 goals and 40 points in 79 regular-season appearances between the Rangers and Vegas in 2024-25. The 34-year-old, who is taking a pay cut compared to his expiring three-year, $15 million contract, should provide solid value relative to his new cap hit while serving primarily on the third line.

Smith scored twice on four shots, added three hits and went plus-3 in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.
EDGE Analysis
Smith tied the game at 2-2 with his first-period tally. In the third, he rushed up the ice and was able to bank in a shot off Leon Draisaitl's second with 0.4 seconds left in regulation. This was a massive performance for Smith, who snapped his four-game point drought in the process. The winger has played a middle-six role this postseason, earning three goals, one assist, 13 shots on net, 14 hits and a plus-1 rating over nine appearances.
