Hurricanes' Ty Smith: Sent to Carolina with Guentzel
Ty Smith and Jake Guentzel were traded from the Penguins to the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday in exchange for Michael Bunting, Ville Koivunen, Vasily Ponomarev, Cruz Lucius, a conditional 2024 first-round pick and a conditional 2024 fifth-round pick, Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic reports.Smith hasn't seen any NHL action this season, but he has 56 points over 90 contests at the AHL level over the last two years. The Hurricanes' strong defense corps likely means he won't be receiving a call-up unless injuries occur. Over the previous three seasons, Smith gained 123 games of NHL experience, logging 47 points, so he may have some scoring upside from the blue line if he gets another look.

Penguins' Ty Smith: Sent back to minors
Ty Smith was reassigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Wednesday.Smith has been a healthy scratch for the Pittsburgh Penguins' last three games ever since Jeff Petry returned to the lineup. With Kris Letang also healthy again, Smith's dropped even further down the depth chart. Still, the 22-year-old Smith was solid during his nine-game stay in the NHL, recording one goal on 27 shots and three power-play assists. Smith figures to remain atop the list of potential call-ups if Pittsburgh should need reinforcements on the blue line.

Penguins' Ty Smith: Picks up assist
Ty Smith recorded an assist in Wednesday's 5-4 defeat to Ottawa.Despite continuing to log heavy power-play minutes with the No. 1 unit, 4:44 of ice time per game over his last four games, Smith has struggled to produce offensively with just one point over that stretch. Whenever the Pittsburgh Penguins get back Jeff Petry (upper body) or Kris Letang (lower body), the 22-year-old Smith will almost certainly find himself dropped from the top power-play, which certainly won't improve his chances of producing in the offensive end.

Penguins' Ty Smith: Gets first goal with new team
Ty Smith scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Golden Knights.Smith's first goal and point as a Penguin came in his third game with the team. He's seen interesting usage in a limited sample -- he's been over 20 minutes of ice time in two of the contests, but he saw just 10:27 in the Winter Classic on Monday. The 22-year-old blueliner has 14 points through 26 contests with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, so he could provide a little help on offense while Kris Letang (personal/lower body) is out.
