Smith scored two goals, including one on the power play, in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Smith hadn't found the back of the net since March 6, and he tallied just two assists in nine games during that goalless stretch. The 21-year-old forward has been a productive player for the Sharks since returning from an upper-body injury that caused him to miss 13 games. Smith has notched nine goals and 18 points over his last 23 contests.

Smith scored a power-play goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Smith has two goals and two assists over his last three outings. The 20-year-old forward's goal wasn't quite enough -- it gave the Sharks a 5-2 lead that they couldn't keep, but they won in the end. Smith has been in a top-six role for the vast majority of the campaign, and he hasn't looked out of place so far. He's up to 19 goals, 43 points (13 on the power play), 113 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating through 46 appearances. His production is roughly equal to what he did in 74 outings as a rookie last year, so there has been ample growth in his play in 2025-26.

Smith scored a goal on three shots in 21:10 of ice time in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Smith returned from a 13-game absence due to an upper-body injury, and he immediately reclaimed a top-line role. The 20-year-old was in the midst of a breakout campaign prior to the injury. He's at 13 goals, 30 points, 83 shots on net and a plus-4 rating over 34 appearances. If he can seamlessly get back up to speed, fantasy managers should make room to get him back in their lineups.

Smith (upper body) will return to the lineup in Detroit on Friday, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith missed 13 games with the injury. The fourth pick in the 2023 NHL Draft, Smith has 12 goals and 17 assists in 33 games, establishing himself as a future star with the Sharks. He should line up on one of the top-two lines Friday and could return to his spot alongside Macklin Celebrini, giving Smith plenty of fantasy value.
