Smith notched an assist and two PIM in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Penguins.
Smith didn't have to wait long for his homecoming against the Penguins, the team he played with in 2023-24. The winger contributed an assist on the first of Chris Kreider's two goals in Wednesday's season opener. Smith had a bit of a down year with 40 points (13 goals, 27 assists) over 76 contests with Pittsburgh, but he's received the first opportunity to see even-strength minutes alongside Kreider and Mika Zibanejad this season. That role, if Smith can keep it, could make him a bounce-back candidate -- he's reached the 50-point mark six times in his career.
