Game-winner against former team Smith scored a goal on six shots in Friday's 4-2 win over the Penguins.

Impact Smith snapped a 10-game goal drought by scoring against his previous team, and his tally was the game-winner. The winger had three assists and 15 shots on net during his scoring slump. He's played a supporting role for the Rangers so far, logging 13 points, 37 shots and a plus-2 rating over 24 appearances, primarily as a middle-six option.

Hands out assist Wednesday Smith notched an assist and three hits in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact Smith has gone eight games without a goal, posting a modest three assists and 12 shots on net in that span. This was just his second game with multiple hits this season -- the winger typically won't make up for a lack of offense with physical play. He's at a decent 12 points with 28 shots on net and a plus-2 rating through 21 outings overall. The Rangers' lines are in flux due to the absences of Filip Chytil (upper body) and Chris Kreider (upper body), as well as the team's generally lackluster play in recent weeks.

Pockets helper in win Smith logged an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Canucks.

Impact Smith set up Chris Kreider for the game-winning goal midway through the third period. The 33-year-old Smith has done a decent job on offense in November with a goal and four assists over his last eight games. He's at 11 points, 22 shots on net and a plus-4 rating over 17 appearances. While Smith has often seen top-six minutes, his production is moderate at best across the board, so he's a low-end option for most fantasy managers.

Fills empty cage Smith scored an empty-net goal in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Red Wings.

Impact Smith picked up his third point in four games when he scored the last goal of this contest. The 33-year-old has moved to the second line recently amid a top-six shuffle by head coach Peter Laviolette. Smith has nine points, 16 shots on net, 10 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 13 appearances, a scoring pace good enough to be worth consideration in some fantasy formats.

Picks up power-play assist Smith notched a power-play assist and blocked two shots in Friday's 2-1 win over the Senators.

Impact Smith snapped a three-game dry spell with the secondary helper on Alexis Lafreniere's third-period goal. The helper was Smith's second power-play point of the campaign as he continues to hold a role on the second unit. The veteran winger has seven points, 13 shots on net, nine blocked shots, six hits and a plus-3 rating through 10 contests overall while playing on the top line at even strength.

Impressing on top line Smith delivered two assists in a 4-1 win over Toronto on Saturday.

Impact Smith is playing on the top line alongside Chris Kreider and Mika Zibanejad. And he's becoming a fan favorite for his hard work on both the forecheck and backcheck. Smith has four points (one goal, three assists) in five games this season. His offensive upside is limited by his deployment on PP2, but a 50-plus point campaign is within reach. Smith's career mark is 60, set in 2017-18.

First goal with new team Smith scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and went plus-2 in Monday's 4-1 win over the Red Wings.

Impact Smith has collected one goal, one assist, seven shots on net and a plus-2 rating over his first three games with the Rangers. He is still on the first line, though that unit with Chris Kreider and Mika Zibanejad didn't find much success until Monday's contest. Smith's goal came straight off a faceoff win by Zibanejad. It may take some more time for chemistry to develop, but Smith projects to be a bench option at best for most fantasy formats since he rarely stands out in any one area.

Helper against former team Smith notched an assist and two PIM in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Penguins.

Impact Smith didn't have to wait long for his homecoming against the Penguins, the team he played with in 2023-24. The winger contributed an assist on the first of Chris Kreider's two goals in Wednesday's season opener. Smith had a bit of a down year with 40 points (13 goals, 27 assists) over 76 contests with Pittsburgh, but he's received the first opportunity to see even-strength minutes alongside Kreider and Mika Zibanejad this season. That role, if Smith can keep it, could make him a bounce-back candidate -- he's reached the 50-point mark six times in his career.

Acquired for picks Smith was traded to the Rangers from the Penguins on Monday in exchange for a 2027 second-round pick and a 2025 fifth-round pick.

Impact Smith never seemed to truly mesh with the Penguins, who acquired him in a trade from Vegas the previous offseason, scoring just 13 goals in 76 regular-season contests. The Rangers will be hoping to get at least 20 goals out of the 33-year-old winger, though he's only reached that mark once in his last four campaigns. Smith figures to slot into a third-line role but could provide cover for the top six if injuries pop up.
