  • Blackhawks' Craig Smith: Pots goal in shootout win

    Smith scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Kings.

    Smith is doing well in a fourth-line role lately. He's earned four goals and two assists over his last seven games, accounting for all of his offense through 10 appearances. The winger has added 18 shots on net, eight hits, nine blocked shots, four PIM and a minus-2 rating. Smith's play has helped him earn a spot on the second power-play unit, though he has yet to pick up a point with the man advantage. He hasn't regularly seen power-play time since the 2021-22 campaign.

  • Blackhawks' Craig Smith: Points in three straight games

    Smith logged an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.

    Smith has found a little chemistry with Lukas Reichel on the fourth line early in the campaign. The 35-year-old Smith has three goals and two assists over his last five games, accounting for all of his offense through eight outings this season. The winger has added 15 shots on net, eight hits, eight blocked shots and a minus-2 rating. Smith's offense will likely fade given his role on a rebuilding team, but he may be worth a look as a streaming option for Thursday's game against the Sharks.

  • Blackhawks' Craig Smith: Scores in loss

    Smith scored a goal on two shots and blocked four shots in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Predators.

    Smith has three goals this season, all of which have come over his last three games. The 35-year-old winger continues to play in a fourth-line role when he's in the lineup, limiting his scoring potential. He's added 12 shots on net, six hits, seven blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through six appearances.

  • Blackhawks' Craig Smith: Scores both goals in loss

    Smith scored twice on five shots and added four hits in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Sabres.

    Smith's goals were separated by 6:20 in the middle of the second period. The 35-year-old winger has been a part-time option for the Blackhawks this season, but he was in the lineup for a third straight game due to the absences of Joey Anderson (illness) and Patrick Maroon (lower body). Smith had 20 points in 75 regular-season outings in a similar bottom-six role with the Stars last year, though the Blackhawks' offense is not nearly as deep or productive, so it wouldn't be surprising to see his scoring drop in 2024-25.

  • Blackhawks' Craig Smith: Signs one-year deal

    Smith signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the Blackhawks on Monday, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

    Smith recorded 11 goals, 20 points, 33 PIM, 51 hits and 30 blocked shots in 75 regular-season games with the Stars in 2023-24. The 34-year-old should serve primarily on the fourth line with Chicago.

  • Stars' Craig Smith: Supplies assist

    Smith logged an assist, two shots on goal and four hits in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Golden Knights in Game 7.

    Smith set up Radek Faksa's third-period tally, which was the game-winner. After being a scratch for the first two contests of the playoffs, Smith contributed two helpers, 10 shots on net, eight hits and a plus-1 rating over the last five games of the first round. The 34-year-old winger should continue to play in a fourth-line role when he's in the lineup.

  • Stars' Craig Smith: Picks up helper

    Smith recorded an assist in Monday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights in Game 4.

    Smith began the postseason as a healthy scratch when the Stars were at full health, but he's drawn into the last two games due to the absences of Mason Marchment (undisclosed) and Radek Faksa (undisclosed). The 34-year-old Smith will likely continue to see fourth-line usage until the Stars are healthy again. Smith put up 20 points, 112 shots on net and 51 hits over 75 regular-season appearances in a similar role.

  • Stars' Craig Smith: Opens scoring Saturday

    Smith scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Kraken.

  • Stars' Craig Smith: Hands out pair of helpers

    Smith notched two assists and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 5-0 win over the Oilers.

    Smith ended a four-game point drought by helping out on goals from linemates Radek Faksa and Sam Steel. Playing in a fourth-line role has put some limits on Smith's offense, but he's done alright with 19 points through 70 contests. He's added 104 shots on net, 46 hits, 29 PIM and a plus-4 rating.

  • Stars' Craig Smith: Pockets assist in win

    Smith logged an assist in Friday's 4-2 win over the Penguins.

    Smith's point streak is up to four games (three goals, one assist) after he set up a Sam Steel tally in the third period Friday. The 34-year-old Smith has 17 points, 100 shots on net, 44 hits, 25 PIM, 25 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 65 appearances. He remains in a bottom-six role, but his offense lately should be enough to keep him in the lineup over Ty Dellandrea.

  • Stars' Craig Smith: Goals in three straight games

    Smith scored a goal in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Coyotes.

    This was Smith's third straight game with a goal, an impressive run for a fourth-line winger. The 34-year-old reached the 10-goal mark with his insurance tally in the third period. He's up to 16 points, 99 shots on net, 43 hits, 25 PIM and a plus-1 rating through 64 appearances. With Tyler Seguin (lower body) back in the mix, competition between Smith, Radek Faksa, Sam Steel and Ty Dellandrea for fourth-line minutes is likely to increase again.

  • Stars' Craig Smith: Scores again Saturday

    Smith scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Kings.

    Smith's offense has been a little more lively than usual lately -- he has two goals and two assists over his last six outings. The 34-year-old winger remains in a fourth-line role, but he's at least been chipping in on offense. For the season, he's up to nine goals, 15 points, 98 shots on net, 43 hits, 25 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 63 appearances.

  • Stars' Craig Smith: Deposits goal Thursday

    Smith scored a goal on four shots and added three hits in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Devils.

    Smith snapped a 12-game goal drought, during which he had two assists. The 34-year-old winger is up to eight goals, 14 points, 95 shots on net, 42 hits, 25 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 62 appearances. While he's been in the lineup a majority of the time, Smith exclusively plays on the fourth line and hasn't produced enough offense to make up for that unfriendly role in fantasy.

  • Stars' Craig Smith: Provides helper in win

    Smith registered an assist in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Kings.

    Smith was scratched Friday versus the Ducks when the Stars dressed seven defensemen, but he was back in the lineup in a more traditional alignment Saturday. The 34-year-old winger has had the occasional trip to the press box this season, likely a product of the Stars enjoying good health among their forwards. He has two helpers in his last three games to give him 13 points, 88 shots on net, 39 hits and 25 PIM through 60 appearances this campaign.

  • Stars' Craig Smith: Garners assist

    Smith notched an assist and three hits in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Sharks.

    Smith had gone eight games without a point entering Saturday. His shot led to a second chance for Radek Faksa to bury early in the second period. The helper gave Smith 12 points through 58 outings. He has also added 87 shots on net, 38 hits and a plus-1 rating. The 34-year-old winger remains in a fourth-line role, though the Stars' tight cap situation makes it questionable if they'll acquire any forward depth ahead of Friday's trade deadline.

  • Stars' Craig Smith: Tallies game-winner in blowout

    Smith scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Thursday's 9-2 win over the Predators.

    Smith scored at 12:31 of the first period, and that goal held as the game-winner, his first such goal this season. The winger has 11 points, 78 shots on net, 25 PIM and a plus-5 rating through 49 outings while playing on the fourth line. He's got some safety in the lineup while Evgenii Dadonov (lower body) is out, but Smith's spot could be in danger if the Stars opt to call up a prospect eventually.

  • Stars' Craig Smith: Nabs assist in win

The 34-year-old winger is up to 10 points, 73 shots, 25 hits, 22 blocked shots, 23 PIM and a plus-4 rating through 46 outings overall as a fixture on the fourth line.

    Smith scored a goal in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Ducks.

    Smith missed one game with an upper-body injury, but he was able to step into his usual fourth-line role after the brief absence. He saw just 10:39 of ice time, making the most of it by scoring a goal in the second period. The winger has four points over his last eight outings, which constitutes one of his better stretches of the season. Overall, Smith has six goals, three assists, 69 shots on net, 22 hits, 21 blocked shots, 23 PIM and a plus-4 rating through 44 contests.
