Smith registered an assist in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

The helper was Smith's first point in two games since he was traded back to the Golden Knights after a poor run with the Rangers. The 33-year-old has been listed on the fourth line in the last two games, but he's seen ice time in line with middle-six usage, which is consistent with what would be expected of the winger. For the season, Smith has 30 points, 91 shots on net, 43 hits, 34 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 60 appearances. He won't do much more than add a little bit across the board, so his fantasy value is mostly limited to deeper formats.

Smith was traded to the Golden Knights from the Rangers on Thursday in exchange for Brendan Brisson and a 2025 third-round pick, Larry Brooks of The New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith has struggled to produce at similar levels ever since leaving Vegas after the 2022-23 campaign. He managed 40 points over 76 games for Pittsburgh last year and has been limited to a mere 29 points in 58 outings with the Rangers this season. The return to Vegas will likely see Smith slot into a middle-six role, though he could push for a spot on the first line with Jack Eichel and Mark Stone.

Smith will be out of the Rangers' lineup against Washington on Wednesday for roster management, per NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Smith seems to be a lock to be traded ahead of Friday's deadline and will now be sitting in the press box for the third straight game. The 33-year-old winger is currently mired in an 11-game goal drought dating back to Jan. 23 versus the Flyers. Depending where he ends up, Smith could be in line for power-play minutes in addition to a top-six role.

Smith (not injury related) will be held out again versus the Islanders on Monday, per NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Smith will miss his second straight game for roster management, as the Rangers seem to be preparing to trade him ahead of Friday's deadline. The veteran winger is currently mired in an 11-game goal drought, during which he has notched a mere 15 shots -- though he did chip in six helpers over that stretch.

Smith won't play against Nashville on Sunday because of roster management purposes, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith, a pending unrestricted free agent after the 2024-25 campaign, could be traded before Friday's deadline. He has generated 10 goals, 29 points, 89 shots on net, 34 blocked shots and 42 hits across 58 appearances this season.

Smith collected a pair of assists, one on the power play, in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Smith produced the secondary helper on Will Cuylle's 15th goal of the season in the opening frame before he set up Adam Fox's go-ahead tally at 11:26 of the third period. Smith had been held off the scoresheet in six of seven games prior to Sunday. The veteran winger has contributed 10 goals and 28 points across 56 appearances this season. Smith is on pace for 41 points, which would be one more than the 40 he recorded with the Penguins in 2023-24.

Smith registered two assists and had four shots on goal in Sunday's 5-4 loss to Colorado.

EDGE Analysis

Smith's pair of helpers came on New York's final two goals of the afternoon, helping Will Borgen and Artemi Panarin find the back of the net. The 33-year-old right winger has 15 assists, 25 points and 79 shots on net in 48 games this year. He has back-to-back efforts with two points and is trending in the right direction offensively. Smith is close to the pace needed to match his point total of 40 from a season ago and is in a promising position to do so on New York's second line. For now, his fantasy relevance is best suited for deeper leagues.

Smith had a goal and an assist Thursday in a 6-1 victory over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

He put in a power-play marker at 18:15 of the third for the 6-1 final. Smith has just four points (two goals, two assists) in his last nine games, and he has but 17 shots in that span. He has 75 shots in 47 games this season, but that puts him on a 130-shot pace, the lowest of his career since the COVID-19 shortened 2020-21. Smith's 23 points (10 goals, 13 assists) in 47 games give some the perception that he's underperforming, but that's a 40-point pace, which would match 2023-24. Right now, Smith won't add value unless he goes on a tear.

Smith scored a shorthanded goal on two shots, added two PIM and logged two hits in Thursday's 5-3 win over Utah.

EDGE Analysis

Smith tied the game at 3-3 just 28 seconds into the third period. Utah had scored early in each of the first two periods, but Smith's tally turned the tides for the Rangers as they kept their momentum up to get the win. Smith has two goals and three assists over his last eight games. The winger is at nine goals, 21 points, 71 shots on net, 34 hits, 26 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 43 appearances in a middle-six role.

Smith scored his eighth goal of the season on his only shot in Sunday's 6-2 win over Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

Smith had gone six games without a goal before giving the Rangers a 4-1 lead in the middle frame Sunday. The 33-year-old has gotten on the scoresheet in three consecutive games for the first time this season. This modest streak follows up an eight-game stretch in which Smith accounted for just one goal. The Ontario native is up to eight goals, 11 helpers and a plus-3 rating through 38 appearances.
