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: 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: 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.

Penguins' Ty Smith: Dropped to AHL
Smith was reassigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Sunday.
Smith was acquired from New Jersey this offseason after a bit of a sophomore slump. He tallied five goals, 20 points and a minus-26 rating in 66 games last season. Smith's demotion likely indicates that Pierre-Olivier Joseph should see regular playing time with Pittsburgh to begin the year, though Smith could still be recalled ahead of Opening Night.

Penguins' Ty Smith: Plays in Thursday's scrimmage
Smith (undisclosed) was on Team 1 for Thursday's intrasquad scrimmage, Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Smith missed the last game of 2021-22 with an injury, but it was a minor issue. The 22-year-old was traded from the Devils to the Penguins in the offseason, and it's expected he'll fill a bottom-four role. With Kris Letang and Jeff Petry in the fold, Smith's power-play time is likely to be limited for his new team. He'll also need to make strides defensively to seize an everyday role.

Penguins' Ty Smith: Dealt to Pittsburgh
The Devils traded Smith (undisclosed) and a 2023 third-round pick to the Penguins in exchange for John Marino on Saturday, PuckPedia reports.
Smith appeared in 66 games with New Jersey in 2021-22, picking up five goals, 20 points and an ugly minus-26 rating while averaging 17:30 of ice time per contest. Perhaps a change of scenery will help the 2018 first-round pick take the next step in his development, but if he continues to struggle in his own end, he could be sent to the press box with some regularity in 2022-23.
