• Smith scored twice, including once on the power play, in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Canucks.

  Smith had the Sharks' first two goals, erasing a 2-0 deficit. This was his first multi-point effort since Opening Night versus the Panthers. Smith had been bumped down to the second line recently, but a reunion with Macklin Celebrini on the top line was the catalyst for this comeback win. Smith has six goals, four assists, 38 shots on net and a minus-7 rating across 14 appearances this season.

• Smith scored a goal on five shots and went minus-2 in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Bruins.

  The Boston native was able to score in this homecoming game despite the Sharks' loss. Smith had been held to two assists over his previous four outings, and he doesn't have a multi-point effort since he had three points Opening Night versus the Panthers. He's still in a top-line role, earning four goals, four assists, 33 shots on net and a minus-6 rating across 12 contests. Smith's game is all offense, so he'll need to pick up the pace a bit to return good value in fantasy.

• Smith scored a goal on five shots in Thursday's 3-2 shootout win over the Predators.

  Smith has gotten off to an inconsistent start to the year. He had three points in the Sharks' season opener, but he's collected just two more over his last six games. While he remains in a top-line role, his fantasy value is tied to being a regular on the scoresheet since he adds little else. The 21-year-old has 16 shots on net, four blocked shots, three hits, two PIM and a minus-4 rating over seven appearances.

• Smith scored two goals, one on the power play and the other shorthanded, and added an assist in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Panthers.

  Smith and linemate Macklin Celebrini wasted no time in displaying their chemistry, as each went off for three points in the opener. The 21-year-old Smith typically hasn't seen much shorthanded usage in his career, but as he rounds out his game, he could be more involved there. He put up 24 goals, 59 points and 166 shots on net over 69 outings in the 2025-26 regular season. Smith could push for a point-per-game pace this year if he continues to develop well, though his fantasy contributions will be limited to offense.

• Smith has been in contact with the Sharks throughout the offseason and remains likely to sign an extension with the team at some point, Max Miller of NHL.com reports Wednesday.

  Smith and the Sharks didn't strike a new deal before Tuesday's deadline for players to sign eight-year extensions. Still, the 21-year-old forward seems likely to reach an agreement before becoming a restricted free agent next summer. General manager Mike Grier hasn't signed a player to an extension longer than five years since assuming the role in San Jose, but Smith is a candidate to receive a long-term deal. Smith racked up 24 goals, 35 assists, 16 PIM, 16 hits and 12 blocked shots in 69 regular-season games last year.

• Smith scored a goal, recorded an assist and fired five shots on net in Thursday's 6-1 win over Winnipeg.

  Smith notched his goal late in the first period before later picking up a secondary helper on Macklin Celebrini's tally in the third. The pair of points raised the 21-year-old Smith up to 24 goals, 35 assists and 166 shots on net across 69 games this season. The rising star took another step forward this season offensively, as he compiled more points and shots on net in less games than he played in his rookie campaign. He is a high-upside player in fantasy for the years to come and is set to operate inside the Sharks' top six for the foreseeable future.
