Predators' Cole Smith: Contributes helper in loss
Smith notched an assist and three shots on goal in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.

The 29-year-old Smith has remained in a bottom-six role throughout the year, adding heavy play to the lineup.

Predators' Cole Smith: Nabs helper Sunday
Smith notched an assist in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Canucks.
Smith has two points over his last three games after going eight contests without getting on the scoresheet. The 29-year-old's offense is likely to remain limited since he plays almost exclusively on the fourth line with no power-play time. Smith is up to four points, 18 shots on net, 46 hits, 13 PIM and a minus-7 rating through 19 appearances.

Smith scored a goal, logged two hits and went plus-2 in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Oilers.
Smith snapped an eight-game point drought with his third-period tally, which salvaged a standings point for the Predators. The 29-year-old winger has done little on offense this season with three points through 17 contests while filling a bottom-six role. He's added 14 shots on net, 43 hits, 13 PIM and a minus-6 rating. Smith offers plenty of grit and appears to have the upper hand to stay in the lineup over Mark Jankowski even if he doesn't score much.

Predators' Cole Smith: Deals shorthanded helper Friday
Smith logged a shorthanded assist, two shots on goal and two PIM in Friday's 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.
The helper was Smith's first point in seven games this season. He had the secondary assist on Gustav Nyquist's game-tying goal in the second period. The 28-year-old Smith plays a physical role on the Predators' fourth line. He's racked up 14 hits, eight PIM, seven shots on net and a minus-7 rating this season. He has the potential to rack up 200-plus hits in a campaign, but he set a career high with 23 points over 80 regular-season contests in 2023-24, and that likely represents his ceiling.

Predators' Cole Smith: Resting Saturday
Smith will not play in Saturday's tilt versus the Blue Jackets due to roster management reasons.
That has been the Predators' phrasing for when they are resting players, so it's safe to assume Smith is just getting a breather before the playoffs. The 28-year-old has no points over six games in April, and he's at 23 points, 233 hits, 111 shots on net and 63 PIM through 79 contests overall.

Predators' Cole Smith: Bulges twine in Saturday loss
Smith scored his ninth goal of the season in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Avalanche.
Smith opened the scoring just 3:41 into the first period, but the Preds ultimately couldn't hold off the red-hot Avs. With 23 points in 73 games, Smith has been a solid source of secondary scoring from the team's fourth line, where he skates alongside Michael McCarron and Kiefer Sherwood.

Smith scored a goal on two shots and added six hits in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Golden Knights.

Smith has a career-high 19 points with 83 shots on net, 172 hits, 54 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 55 outings overall. He's mostly filled a bottom-six role, though his physicality may draw interest in deep fantasy formats.

Predators' Cole Smith: Agrees to two-year extension
Smith signed a two-year, $2 million contract extension with Nashville on Wednesday.
Smith will first complete his one-year, $775,000 deal, which means his new contract will begin in 2024-25. He has five goals, 16 points, 118 hits and 21 blocks in 46 outings this season. The 28-year-old is likely to continue to serve as a bottom-six forward over the life of his new contract.

Predators' Cole Smith: Grabs helper in win
Smith logged an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Stars.
Smith snapped a six-game point drought with the assist. Prior to the slump, he had put together a five-game point streak. The 28-year-old remains in a bottom-six role, so consistent offense is unlikely to be the norm for him. He's produced 16 points -- one off his career high -- while adding 59 shots on net, 103 hits, 37 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 39 appearances.

Predators' Cole Smith: Won't play Tuesday
Smith (illness) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Blackhawks.

Predators' Cole Smith: Garners helper in win
Smith logged an assist and six hits in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Sabres.
Smith had the secondary helper on linemate Yakov Trenin's first-period marker. The assist ended a four-game point drought for Smith, who hasn't scored while adding four helpers over his last eight outings since a two-goal game Nov. 18. The 28-year-old winger is at nine points, 60 hits, 29 shots on net, 28 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 24 appearances. He's on pace for a career year, but he's mainly just a physical presence on the third line.

Predators' Cole Smith: Two tallies including GWG
Smith scored two goals, including the game-winner, on three shots while adding three hits and a plus-1 rating in Saturday's 4-2 win over Chicago.
It's the second two-goal performance of the season for the 28-year-old checking winger, but those are his only tallies in 16 games, and he has only one assist. Smith won't add much offense, but with 42 hits already in 2023-24, he's on pace to top 200 for the first time.

Predators' Cole Smith: Lights lamp twice in win
Smith scored his first two goals of the season, including the game-winner, in Thursday's 4-1 victory over the Rangers.
Both tallies came in the first period, and Juuse Saros never relinquished that early lead. Smith had only four goals and 17 points in 69 games last season, but the 27-year-old checking winger is off to a strong start to 2023-24 with three points through five games to go along with seven shots, seven PIM, eight hits, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating.

Predators' Cole Smith: Pockets short-handed helper
Smith notched a short-handed assist, two shots on goal, four hits and two blocked shots in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Kraken.
Smith sent a puck out of the zone, and Colton Sissons was the first to get to it on a short-handed breakaway for the Predators' first goal. After beginning the season on the fourth line, Smith was bumped up to a trio with Cody Glass and Gustav Nyquist for the second game of the year. The 27-year-old Smith had 17 points, 198 hits and 60 PIM in 69 contests last season, his first full NHL campaign. There may be some room to grow if he can hang onto a middle-six spot throughout the year.

Smith missed the last seven games of the 2022-23 campaign. The 27-year-old established himself as a full-time NHLer with 17 points in 69 outings last season. If he can maintain his roster spot to begin 2023-24, Smith is projected to be a bottom-six fixture.

Predators' Cole Smith: Could miss time
Smith (upper body) is not considered close to returning to action according to general manager David Poile, Robby Stanley of 102.5 The Game reports Tuesday.
Smith will for sure miss his second straight contest when the Preds face the Knight on Tuesday, though it sounds like it may be longer. With just one point in his last 11 contests, the 27-year-old winger's absence is unlikely to have a significant impact on fantasy players.

Predators' Cole Smith: Out Monday
Smith (upper body) will not play Monday against the Stars.
As expected, Smith will miss at least one game after suffering an injury Saturday against the Blues. The 27-year-old has just one point over his last 11 games.
