Smith scored a power-play goal on three shots and added an assist in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Stars.
Smith has three points over his last two games. The Sharks briefly tried separating him from Macklin Celebrini at even strength, but that alignment has been reversed. That's good for Smith's production, which will benefit from top-line usage. He's off to a somewhat slow start in 2026-27, though he still has seven goals, six assists, 48 shots on net and a minus-11 rating across 19 outings.
