Two assists Sunday Smith registered two assists and had four shots on goal in Sunday's 5-4 loss to Colorado.

Impact Smith's pair of helpers came on New York's final two goals of the afternoon, helping Will Borgen and Artemi Panarin find the back of the net. The 33-year-old right winger has 15 assists, 25 points and 79 shots on net in 48 games this year. He has back-to-back efforts with two points and is trending in the right direction offensively. Smith is close to the pace needed to match his point total of 40 from a season ago and is in a promising position to do so on New York's second line. For now, his fantasy relevance is best suited for deeper leagues.

Two-point effort in win Smith had a goal and an assist Thursday in a 6-1 victory over the Flyers.

Impact He put in a power-play marker at 18:15 of the third for the 6-1 final. Smith has just four points (two goals, two assists) in his last nine games, and he has but 17 shots in that span. He has 75 shots in 47 games this season, but that puts him on a 130-shot pace, the lowest of his career since the COVID-19 shortened 2020-21. Smith's 23 points (10 goals, 13 assists) in 47 games give some the perception that he's underperforming, but that's a 40-point pace, which would match 2023-24. Right now, Smith won't add value unless he goes on a tear.
