Smith didn't skate Thursday and is questionable for Friday's contest against Anaheim because he's banged up from Tuesday's 7-2 victory over San Jose, per Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.
Smith notched a goal and an assist in Saturday's 6-3 Stadium Series win over the Flyers.
Still skates well, even though he is on the far side of 30. He can rush the puck and has some offensive skills, but is mostly a physical presence in his own zone who will stand up for his teammates when needed. He has to make sure he picks his spots well when he steps up to make a hit so he does not lose his positioning. Has been effective whenever used as a winger at the NHL level.
Long Range Potential: Extremely versatile depth defenseman.
