  • Hurricanes' Ty Smith: Headed down to minors

    Smith was reassigned to AHL Chicago on Tuesday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

    Smith's demotion is a little curious, as it will leave the Canes without an emergency depth option on the blue line ahead of Tuesday's matchup with San Jose. The 24-year-old defenseman has yet to make an appearance for Carolina, with his last NHL game coming back in 2022-23 when he was with Pittsburgh. This likely won't be the last time Smith is moved between the NHL and AHL this year.

  • Hurricanes' Ty Smith: Recalled by Carolina

    Smith was recalled by the Hurricanes on Sunday, Walt Ruff of the team's official site reports.

    Smith was sent to the AHL at the end of November, but he'll rejoin the Hurricanes to provide additional depth. He hasn't yet appeared in an NHL game this season, so Smith's unlikely to play a significant role during his upcoming stint with Carolina.

  • Hurricanes' Ty Smith: Back in AHL

    Smith was reassigned to AHL Chicago on Saturday, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

    Smith was recalled Friday, but he was a healthy scratch in a 6-3 loss to Florida. Smith has yet to see any action at the NHL level this season. He has three assists in four outings with AHL Chicago in 2024-25.

  • Hurricanes' Ty Smith: Loaned to AHL team

    Smith was assigned to AHL Chicago on Sunday.

  • Hurricanes' Ty Smith: Up from AHL

    Smith was summoned from AHL Chicago on Thursday.

    Smith hasn't appeared in a game with Carolina, but he has been a healthy scratch on seven occasions with the Hurricanes this season. He also has three assists in four outings with the Wolves in 2024-25. Although he's back with Carolina, he figures to serve as the team's seventh defenseman, which means he's unlikely to draw into the lineup unless there's an injury.

  • Hurricanes' Ty Smith: Returned to minor-league affiliate

    Smith was reassigned to AHL Chicago on Tuesday.

    Smith hasn't played for the Hurricanes yet this season but has been a healthy scratch in seven NHL games, including the last two. He has recorded three assists in four AHL outings during the 2024-25 campaign.

  • Hurricanes' Ty Smith: Brought up Sunday

    Smith was recalled from AHL Chicago on Sunday.

    It's unclear if Carolina is dealing with an injury to one of its blueliners, but Smith might serve as the club's seventh defenseman if the Hurricanes have no new injuries. The 24-year-old has registered two assists through three games with AHL Chicago in 2024-25. The former first-round selection by New Jersey in 2018 hasn't made an appearance in the NHL since the 2022-23 campaign with Pittsburgh.

  • Hurricanes' Ty Smith: Sent down Monday

    Smith was assigned to AHL Chicago on Monday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

    Smith spent over a week with the Hurricanes but didn't make any appearances with the NHL club. He should have more consistent opportunities to develop in the AHL.

  • Hurricanes' Ty Smith: Called up for road trip

    Smith was recalled from AHL Chicago on Friday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

    Smith was called up to serve as an extra defenseman as the Hurricanes embark on a six-game road trip. The 24-year-old defenseman has 123 games of NHL experience, in which he has 47 points, but he didn't see any time at the top level while playing with Pittsburgh and Carolina's minor-league affiliates last season.

  • Hurricanes' Ty Smith: Going through waivers

    Smith was waived Sunday to be sent to AHL Chicago.

    Smith had nine goals and 43 points across 63 regular-season contests with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the AHL in 2023-24. If he doesn't get claimed by another team, Smith could be a call-up option for Carolina in 2024-25.

  • Hurricanes' Ty Smith: Agrees to one-year contract

    Smith signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Hurricanes on Friday.

    Smith was acquired by Carolina from Pittsburgh on March 7 as part of the trade that sent Jake Guentzel to the Hurricanes. The 24-year-old Smith was set to become a restricted free agent in July after completing a one-year deal. He had nine goals and 43 points in 63 regular-season contests with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in 2023-24. Smith didn't make an appearance at the top level last season, but he does have eight goals and 47 points in 123 career NHL games.

  • Hurricanes' Ty Smith: Sent to Carolina with Guentzel

    Smith and Jake Guentzel were traded from the Penguins to the 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: Placed on waivers Thursday

    Smith was placed on waivers Thursday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

    Smith inked a one-year deal with the Penguins in the offseason. Smith had seven goals and 17 assists in 39 AHL games with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton last season and added a goal and three helpers in nine NHL games with the Penguins. Look for the defenseman to spend most of the season in the AHL.

  • Penguins' Ty Smith: Signs one-year contract

    Smith signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with Pittsburgh on Saturday.

    Smith signed a one-way deal after spending most of the 2022-23 season in the minors. Smith managed seven goals and 24 points in 39 AHL games with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton while picking up a goal and three assists in nine games with Pittsburgh. The defenseman was a first-team rookie All-Star in 2020-21 with New Jersey. We'll see if the 23-year-old can find his game again at the NHL level.

  • Penguins' Ty Smith: Sent back to minors

    Smith was reassigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Wednesday.

    Smith has been a healthy scratch for the 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

    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 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

    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.

  • Penguins' Ty Smith: Makes Penguins debut

    Smith contributed four shots and four hits during a 4-2 defeat to the visiting Devils on Friday.

    Smith, who was acquired from the Devils on July 16, dressed for the Penguins for the first time with defensemen Jeff Petry (upper body) and Chad Ruhwedel (upper body) sidelined. The 22-year-old blueliner opened on the top pairing with Marcus Pettersson, logging 22:14 of ice time. Before being summoned from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Wednesday, Smith amassed four goals and 10 assists in 26 games.

  • Penguins' Ty Smith: Elevated from AHL

    Smith was called up from the minors Wednesday.

    Smith's promotion could be an indication that Chad Ruhwedel (upper body) will be unavailable for at least Wednesday's clash with Detroit, if not longer. Even with a spot on the NHL roster, Smith may not be able to secure minutes over Mark Friedman, who figures to have the inside track for a slot on the blue line.
