Brendan Smith - Page 2 - NHL News & Rumors

Eligible to play Thursday Smith has served his two-game suspension and will be available against Seattle on Thursday.

Impact Smith's return will likely see youngster Simon Nemec returned to the minors considering Smith had played in all 21 games prior to his suspension. The 34-year-old blueliner is averaging just 14:43 of ice time and has never reached the 20-point threshold in his career, so he shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of fantasy value.

Handed two-game suspension Smith has received a two-game suspension from the Department of Player Safety on Friday for slashing Travis Konecny during Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over Philadelphia.

Impact Smith was acting in retaliation after Konecny cross-checked him. Konecny received a fine for his part in the incident. Smith won't be eligible to play Friday against San Jose or Tuesday versus Vancouver, but he can return next Thursday against the Kraken. The 34-year-old has two assists, 32 PIM, 35 hits and 19 blocks in 21 contests this season. The suspension is likely to lead to Colin Miller remaining in the lineup. Miller might have otherwise been a healthy scratch Friday because Simon Nemec was summoned from AHL Utica on Friday with an eye toward him making his NHL debut in the evening's game versus the Sharks.

Set for disciplinary hearing Smith will have a hearing with the Department of Player Safety on Friday after he slashed Travis Konecny in Thursday's game versus the Flyers.

Impact Smith's actions appear to have risen to the level of supplemental discipline. He took a minor penalty on the play in the third period. If Smith is suspended, the Devils would likely need to make a roster move, as they'd only have five healthy defensemen on the roster.

Still searching for first point Smith had two blocked shots and a plus-1 rating in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Wild.

Impact Smith has played in each of New Jersey's first nine games but has yet to get on the scoresheet. The lack of offense isn't surprising considering the veteran blueliner had just five assists without a goal in 60 games last season. Despite all the talent around him, Smith's stay-at-home role limits his fantasy utility.

Remains out Thursday Smith (lower body) isn't expected to play Thursday versus St. Louis, according to Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.

Impact Smith has five assists, 55 PIM, 88 hits and 57 blocks in 49 games this season. He also missed the Devils' previous three contests because of the injury. With Smith still unavailable, Kevin Bahl is projected to stay in the lineup for the fourth consecutive game.

Out again Tuesday Smith (lower body) will be out of action again versus the Blue Jackets on Tuesday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Impact Smith is set to miss his third consecutive contest due to his lingering lower-body issue. With zero goals and five assists in 49 games this season, Smith's continued absence is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy players. The veteran defenseman has never reached the 20-point threshold in his career and is unlikely to do so this year either.

Not playing Saturday Smith (lower body) won't play Saturday against Minnesota, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
