Impact Smith has gone eight games without a goal, but he has two helpers over his last five appearances.

Smith is up to 15 points, 55 shots on net and a minus-15 rating over 38 contests in 2024-25.

Goal, assist in loss Smith scored a goal on three shots and added an assist in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Golden Knights.
Impact Smith ended a seven-game dry spell Friday, though he also missed three contests in that span due to an upper-body injury. The 19-year-old natural center has been playing on the wing a bit lately, and he was on the second line in this contest. He's up to six goals, 13 points, 43 shots and a minus-11 rating through 30 appearances -- those aren't Calder-caliber numbers, but he's been fine for a rookie forward on a low-scoring team.

Set to play Saturday Smith (upper body) is expected to be activated off injured reserve and play Saturday versus Utah, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Impact Smith has five goals and 11 points in 24 outings in 2024-25. He missed three straight games due to the injury. Smith will likely serve in a middle-six capacity in his return.

Designated for IR Smith (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Impact Even using a retroactive designation, Smith will need to miss at least the next two games for the Sharks after being placed on IR. In a corresponding move, the team activated Barclay Goodrow (upper body), who figures to rejoin the lineup against Carolina on Tuesday.

Out of action Saturday Smith (upper body) will not be in the lineup Saturday in Florida, according to Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.
Impact Smith will be replaced in the lineup by Ethan Cardwell. Smith, the fourth overall pick in the 2023 Draft, has five goals and six assists across 24 games this season. Consider him day-to-day at this time.
DECEMBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable for Saturday Smith is questionable for Saturday's tilt against Florida because of an undisclosed injury, according to Max Miller of NHL.com.
Impact Smith has five goals and 11 points in 24 appearances in 2024-25. If he can't play, then perhaps Ethan Cardwell will draw into the lineup after being a healthy scratch in San Jose's past two games.

Plays in back-to-back for first time Smith scored a goal and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.
Impact For the first time in his young career, Smith played in both halves of a back-to-back. He had often sat out a game in those situations over the first quarter of the campaign, and it's unclear if Saturday signals a shift in the Sharks' development plan for the 19-year-old, or if his offense was simply too hot to bench. He has three goals and four assists over his last four contests, giving him five goals, 11 points, 31 shots on net and a minus-7 rating across 22 appearances this season.
DECEMBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Three multipoint games in row Smith scored a goal and added an assist Friday in an 8-5 win over the Kraken.
Impact Smith has three straight multipoint games (two goals, five assists), which comprises 70 percent of his offense in 21 games. He has four goals, six assists and 30 shots in 21 games, and he's discovering that the NHL is a lot harder than the NCAA. Smith is a brilliant playaker, but he's making passes that his teammates can't finish. That will change over time when the caliber of his teammates increase. Right now, Smith is a tough redraft play.

Another multi-point effort Smith scored a power-play goal on four shots and added an assist in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Senators.
Impact Smith set up a Mario Ferraro tally in the second period before briefly tying the game with a goal of his own in the third. With four points over his last two outings, Smith appears to have found another gear on offense. The 19-year-old rookie has three goals, five assists, 28 shots on net and a minus-11 rating, and four of his eight points have come on the power play.

Notches two helpers in win Smith recorded a pair of assists, including one on the power play, in Monday's 7-2 win over the Kings.
Impact Smith snapped a three-game slump with the pair of helpers on consecutive tallies early in the third period. The 19-year-old remained on the wing Monday -- while center Mikael Granlund (upper body) exited the lineup, the Sharks also welcomed back another pivot in Nico Sturm. Smith is up to six points, 24 shots on net and a minus-12 rating over 19 contests. He has sat out one game in all four of the Sharks' back-to-back sets so far, so fantasy managers should expect him to sit out either Friday or Saturday during a home-and-home against the Kraken.

Manages power-play assist Smith produced a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Penguins.
Impact Smith has been limited to two assists over six outings in November. The 19-year-old has also moved to the wing with the Sharks healthy down the middle. Smith has four points, 18 shots on net and a minus-10 rating through 15 contests. He'll likely continue to see middle-six minutes when in the lineup. Smith is probable to sit out a game this week, as the Sharks have a road back-to-back in Dallas on Wednesday and St. Louis on Thursday. He has yet to play both halves of a back-to-back this season.

Snags helper in overtime win Smith registered an assist in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.
Impact Smith set up Jack Thompson's first NHL tally late in the first period. With three points over his last three games, it appears Smith is starting to find his way in the NHL. The rookie center has added 15 shots on net, six PIM and a minus-3 rating over 11 appearances this season. While he's not expected to play every game early on, he should continue to see middle-six minutes and power-play time when in the lineup.
