Smith inked a four-year contract extension with the Senators on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Freshly off a three-point effort (two goals, one assists) against the Blue Jackets on Sunday, Smith -- who's contract was set to expire after the season -- will stay in town for another four years. The veteran winger owns 22 points through 43 contests this season and will look to continue that success with contract talks behind him.

Smith scored two goals and an assist with a plus-3 rating in a 7-6 overtime loss to the Blue Jackets on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old isn't on the same pace he was last season, but he isn't all that far behind it. Smith posted a league-high 20.7 shooting percentage on his way to 25 goals in 2015-16. With his shooting percentage back much closer to his career-norm of 10.3, he only has 11 goals after the midway point. But with more ice time and shot attempts in 2016-17, Smith could still reach the 20-goal plateau.

Smith wants to remain with the Senators, and the team also wants to keep him. He is confident the two sides will find common ground to make deal happen, Bruce Garrioch of The Ottawa Citizen reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith will be an unrestricted free agent on July 1 if a deal cannot be worked out. He is helping his cause to secure a nice payday since he is on pace for a career high in points. His previous best was last season when he lit the lamp 25 times and finished with 36 points and a plus-16. Smith is off that goal pace by a wide margin, but his assists are up. His offense and penalty minutes can help fantasy owners in deeper pools.

Smith potted his ninth goal of the season and had an assist in Sunday's win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Smith recently missed a couple games due to an abdominal strain, but he's healthy now and back to padding the scoresheet. The 28-year-old has scored six times in his last seven outings and is up to 17 points on Ottawa's second line. Smith won't blow you away with his point totals, but he's a strong goal-scorer who plays on the power play and contributes in multiple fantasy categories.

Smith (abdomen) will return against the Capitals on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Now healthy, look for Smith to reprise his role as a top-six forward with a spot on the second power-play unit. The well-rounded Senator has accumulated 15 points and a plus-6 rating in 35 games this season, including a pair shorthanded tallies. As a bonus for those of you in leagues that place a heavy emphasis on the rough stuff, Smith has you covered there as well, as he's up to 31 PIM and 58 hits after laying into opponents 175 times last season.

Smith (abdomen) is showing on injured reserve, per the NHL's official media site.

EDGE Analysis

Smith's absence stings, as he's the type of skater who can do a little bit of everything, including work on the power play and penalty kill. He hasn't missed any games so far, but now he'll be out for the next two before regaining eligibility for a Jan. 7 contest against the Capitals.

Smith will miss the Senator's next two outings with an abdominal strain.

EDGE Analysis

Smith will have plenty of time to get back to 100 percent as Ottawa are on their bye week following Sunday's meeting with Washington. When healthy, the winger has performed well at even-strength with eight goals and seven helpers, but has yet to register a point on the power play, despite averaging 1:38 of ice time per night with the man advantage. If the 28-year-old can't figure out how to chip in on the PP soon, fantasy owners may want to go in a different direction.

Smith (upper body) won't return to Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Smith's presence on the ice will be sorely missed by the Senators, as the 28-year-old pivot had already potted a goal and fired two shots on net before leaving Tuesday's game with an upper-body ailment. The severity of the veteran forward's injury remains unclear, but the Senators should release another update on his status ahead of Thursday's matchup with Detroit.

Smith notched an assist and two hits during Tuesday's 4-3 victory over Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

Smith's increased opportunity has directly affected his production. The winger has seen an average of 17:28 of ice time in his last three contests, accumulating three goals and three assists to go along with a plus-6 rating. Coach Guy Boucher is clearly riding the hot hand and allowing Smith to feast on the top line. As long as the 28-year-old remains alongside solid options like Derick Brassard and Mark Stone, he'll have plenty of opportunities to reach the scoresheet.

Smith netted two goals and added an assist in Sunday's win over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

That's back-to-back multi-point games for Smith, who is currently skating on the second line. He isn't known for being a big offensive contributor, but he's scored four times in his last five games and is up to 13 points on the season. Smith's 31 PIM and quality ice time make him worth a look in some deeper leagues, especially now that he's proving his 25-goal 2015-16 campaign was no fluke.
