Ty Smith - NHL News & Rumors

Headed down to minors Smith was reassigned to AHL Chicago on Tuesday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Impact Smith's demotion is a little curious, as it will leave the Canes without an emergency depth option on the blue line ahead of Tuesday's matchup with San Jose. The 24-year-old defenseman has yet to make an appearance for Carolina, with his last NHL game coming back in 2022-23 when he was with Pittsburgh. This likely won't be the last time Smith is moved between the NHL and AHL this year.

Over the previous three seasons, Smith gained 123 games of NHL experience, logging 47 points, so he may have some scoring upside from the blue line if he gets another look.
