Smith provided a goal in Pittsburgh's 3-1 loss to Florida on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Smith's marker came midway through the second period to put Pittsburgh up 1-0, though the Penguins weren't able to build off that initial lead. It was his seventh goal and 14th point in 26 contests in 2023-24. Smith's been cold recently, recording just two points (both assists) over his previous 15 outings. However, he's still in a top-six role and getting regular power-play ice time, so the 32-year-old is in a good position to rebound.

Smith scored twice, dished two assists and went plus-2 in Saturday's 10-2 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Two of Smith's four points came on the power play. The winger had both of the Penguins' first-period tallies, and he set up Evgeni Malkin's pair of goals. This was Smith's third multi-point effort of the season, and he's up to six goals, 11 points, 24 shots on net, six hits and a plus-3 rating over 10 appearances. He's been a near-perfect fit on the second line in his first season with the team.

Smith scored two goals including the game-winner in Thursday's 4-0 victory over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran winger potted the Penguins' first two goals of the night in the first period, and Tristan Jarry did the rest. Smith has had a strong start to his first season with Pittsburgh, producing four goals and six points in seven games with 19 shots on goal and a plus-3 rating while skating on the second line with Evgeni Malkin.

Smith notched an assist in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Smith has gotten on the scoresheet in three straight games, collecting all four of his points this season in that span. The 32-year-old winger has been a perfect fit alongside Evgeni Malkin on the second line through four contests. Smith has added 12 shots on net and a plus-4 rating. If he can maintain consistent offense, he'll be a strong depth option for fantasy managers.

Smith scored his first goal of the season in Friday's 4-0 road win against the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Smith put a bow on the scoring with an even-strength marker at 16:57 of the third period, with the lone assist going to Evgeni Malkin. The 32-year-ld Smith also had a game-high seven shots on goal along with a plus-2 rating and a hit across just 15:03 of ice time. He'll look to stay hot Saturday against the visiting Flames.

Smith was traded to the Penguins on Wednesday from the Golden Knights in exchange for a 2024 third-round selection.
EDGE Analysis
Smith racked up an impressive four goals and 10 assists in 22 postseason contests on the way to lifting Lord Stanley's cup with Vegas this year. Now, the 32-year-old winger will be tasked with bolstering a bottom-six in the Steel City that was lackluster, at best, last season. If Pittsburgh is unable to re-sign Jason Zucker, it could open a path to a top-six role for Smith. The Ontario native has reached the 50-point threshold in four of his last six seasons and should be capable of reaching that mark in 2023-24 as well.

EDGE Analysis
Smith scored just two goals over five games in the Stanley Cup Finals, but his tally Tuesday ended up being in the game-winner in the series-clinching victory. The 32-year-old, an original Golden Knight, finished this postseason with four goals and nine assists over 22 appearances while playing in his usual second-line role.

EDGE Analysis
Smith put the icing on the Golden Knights' series-opening win, snapping his six-game goal drought. He'd picked up three helpers over his last three contests. The winger continues to play a key middle-six role for Vegas, which has seen him earn 12 points with 41 shots on net, 25 hits and a plus-6 rating through 18 playoff outings.

Smith registered two assists in Vegas' 6-0 victory over Dallas in Game 6 on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Smith was quiet offensively over the first five contests of the Western Conference Finals, registering just one point (an assist) in that span. That's in contrast to his two goals and eight points in his first 11 playoff appearances this year. Smith has been serving in a top-six capacity and is on the second power-play unit, which is likely to continue to be his role when Vegas faces Florida in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals on Saturday.
