Smyth gets another crack at a scoring line. The veteran left wing has 16 goals and 36 points in 52 games. One would imagine he has a better chance at being productive on the second unit.
Look for Smyth to play on the Belanger line to start tonight's game. The veteran is enjoying a rebound season with 16 goals and 34 points through 49 games. Expect him to play with more life after resting during the break.
When Hall returns, expect Smyth to get demoted to the third line. The Banff, Alberta native has 12 goals and 26 points through his 30-game return tour of Edmonton.
Smyth moves down to the second line after not scoring for six games. If you thought the power forward would score 40 goals, you will be disappointed at the end of the season.
The NHL’s department of Player Safety has reviewed his third period hit on the Pittsburgh Penguin’s Chris Kunitz and decided there would be no further penalty.
Smyth avoids the 'Shanaban' following his elbow to the face of Chris Kunitz. Feel free to roll him out in any standard leagues, if you were planning on starting him.
