The Devils traded Smith (undisclosed) and a 2023 third-round pick to the Penguins in exchange for John Marino on Saturday, PuckPedia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith appeared in 66 games with New Jersey in 2021-22, picking up five goals, 20 points and an ugly minus-26 rating while averaging 17:30 of ice time per contest. Perhaps a change of scenery will help the 2018 first-round pick take the next step in his development, but if he continues to struggle in his own end, he could be sent to the press box with some regularity in 2022-23.

Smith (undisclosed) will not play Friday against Detroit, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear if Smith is injured or if he's absent from the lineup in favor of some other skaters for the team's season finale. The 22-year-old blueliner will finish the 2021-22 campaign with five goals and 20 points through 66 appearances.

Smith notched an assist in Thursday's 7-4 win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Smith helped out on Yegor Sharangovich's equalizer in the third period. With three assists in his last two games, Smith has worked out of a funk that saw him go six contests without a point. The 21-year-old blueliner has still had a rather inconsistent season with 13 points, 42 shots on net, 43 blocked shots and a minus-13 rating in 40 appearances.

Smith dished out two assists in Tuesday's 7-1 win over Montreal.
EDGE Analysis
Smith was one of seven Devils to post multiple points in this much-needed get-right game for New Jersey, which snapped a seven-game losing streak. The 2018 first-round pick was drafted for his offensive capabilities from the blue line, but Smith had just one multi-point game this season coming into this one -- a three-point night Nov. 9 against Florida, which included his only goal of the season.

Smith (upper body) is set to return Thursday versus the Lightning, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith was on injured reserve and missed three games with the injury. He'll return to a bottom-four role and should factor in for power-play time. Christian Jaros will exit the lineup to make room for Smith.

Smith (upper body) is traveling with the Devils and could come off injured reserve during the three-game trip, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Devils play Thursday, Saturday and Monday. Smith has missed three games with the upper-body injury, which he suffered last Wednesday. The 21-year-old has 10 points in 33 games this season and should skate on the third defense pairing once active.

Smith (upper body) was shifted to injured reserve Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Smith suffered the injury Wednesday against the Coyotes. He'll miss at least three games as a result, with his first chance to return coming Thursday in Tampa Bay. The former WHL Spokane standout has managed a modest 10 points in 33 games this season.

Smith (upper body) will not participate in Saturday's contest against Carolina, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith suffered an upper-body injury against Arizona on Wednesday and will be shelved for Saturday's game while recovering. The 21-year-old has averaged 14:59 of ice time -- 1:26 during the power play -- and distributed three assists over the last 10 games. He will set his sights on returning for Sunday's game against Los Angeles. Ryan Graves is likely to see an expanded role in Smith's absence Saturday.

Smith sustained an upper-body injury in Wednesday's matchup with Arizona.
EDGE Analysis
Smith is goalless in 25 straight contests but has generated seven helpers over that stretch, including four power-play assists. While the lack of goals will prevent the 21-year-old blueliner from offering top-end fantasy value, he should remain a solid mid-range target once cleared to play.

Smith posted an assist in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Smith had a shot attempt tipped in by Janne Kuokkanen in the second period. The 21-year-old Smith has collected a solid five helpers through 10 games in December, though he's also gone minus-7 this month. The defenseman is up to eight points, 29 shots on net, 28 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating in 25 outings overall. He's well off the pace he showed last year when he had 23 points in 48 contests as a rookie.
