Craig Smith - Pockets assist in winSmith logged an assist in Friday's 4-2 win over the Penguins.
ImpactSmith's point streak is up to four games (three goals, one assist) after he set up a Sam Steel tally in the third period Friday. The 34-year-old Smith has 17 points, 100 shots on net, 44 hits, 25 PIM, 25 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 65 appearances. He remains in a bottom-six role, but his offense lately should be enough to keep him in the lineup over Ty Dellandrea.

Logan Stankoven - Adds assist FridayStankoven logged an assist in Friday's 4-2 win over the Penguins.
ImpactStankoven set up the second of Jamie Benn's two goals in the second period, which ended up being the game-winner. The 21-year-old Stankoven has a goal and two assists over his last three games while continuing to hold his own in a third-line role. He's at 11 points, 31 shots on net, 15 hits and a plus-5 rating through 13 appearances. The one downside lately is that Stankoven has lost his power-play role since Tyler Seguin returned from a lower-body injury.

The 22-year-old defenseman has 40 points, 129 shots on net, 120 blocked shots, 57 hits and a plus-19 rating over 68 outings on the year.
