Top Craig Smith News

  • Stars' Craig Smith: Available to return

    Smith (illness) will be available for Tuesday's contest against Winnipeg, per Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News.

    Smith was back on the ice for Monday's practice after sitting out the past two games due to an illness. He has generated two goals, one assist and 28 shots on net over 17 games this campaign. If he plays against the Jets, Ty Dellandrea or Sam Steel could be scratched.

  • Stars' Craig Smith: Still out Friday

    Smith (illness) participated in Friday's morning skate but won't play versus the Flames, Stars radio host Owen Newkirk reports.

    Smith will miss his second straight game, but his presence at practice is a positive sign. The Stars don't play again until Tuesday versus the Jets, so Smith should have a good chance to be ready by then. One of Ty Dellandrea or Sam Steel will likely exit the lineup once Smith returns.

  • Stars' Craig Smith: Out with illness

    Smith (illness) won't play versus the Golden Knights on Wednesday.

  • Stars' Craig Smith: Tallies in Thursday's win

    Smith scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

    Smith ended his six-game point drought with the goal. The 34-year-old has primarily played in a fourth-line role with virtually no power-play time this season, though he's yet to be a healthy scratch. Smith is up to three points, 19 shots on net, eight hits, eight PIM and a plus-2 rating through 12 contests.

  • Stars' Craig Smith: Garners first helper

    Smith logged an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and two PIM in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Penguins.

    The helper was Smith's first of the season, and he's added one goal through five games. The 34-year-old is in a fourth-line role, but so far he's been able to fend off challenges from Ty Dellandrea and Sam Steel, who have been healthy scratches at times. Smith has added five shots on goal, five hits, five blocked shots and a plus-2 rating while averaging 10:32 of ice time per game.

  • Stars' Craig Smith: Opens scoring in second period

    Smith scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Golden Knights.

    Smith had just one blocked shot in the season opener versus the Blues, but he was more productive in the second game of the year. The 34-year-old logged a team-low 10:10 of ice time Tuesday, and it appears he'll be firmly in a fourth-line role throughout the campaign. He's also playing on his off side at left wing, which could limit his effectiveness. Smith had 16 points in 64 outings between Boston and Washington last season.

  • Stars' Craig Smith: Joining Dallas

    Smith signed a one-year, $1 million deal with the Stars on Saturday.

    The 33-year-old Smith posted 16 points (nine goals, seven assists) in 64 games last year between the Bruins and the Capitals. Smith will likely occupy a middle-six role for the Stars in 2023-24.

  • Capitals' Craig Smith: Grabs two points in win

    Smith tallied a goal and added an assist in Monday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.

    Smith set up Rasmus Sandin's tally 1:03 into the first period before scoring a goal later in the frame, ripping a loose puck past Ilya Sorokin from the slot. The 33-year-old Smith had just one point in his last 15 contests before Monday's two-point effort. He's tallied four goals and five points through 20 games with the Capitals and 15 points (eight goals, seven assists) in 62 outings between Washington and Boston this season.

  • Capitals' Craig Smith: Scores lone goal

    Smith scored a goal on four shots in the Capitals' 5-1 loss to the Lightning on Thursday.

    Smith shot a puck off Andrei Vasilevskiy to cut the Lightning's lead to 2-1. That would be the closest the Capitals would get to tying the game, however, as they coughed up three goals in the third to drop a 5-1 contest. This goal snaps an 11-game point drought for the former Bruin as he looks to get back on track offensively. On the season, Smith has seven goals and 13 points in 58 games.

  • Capitals' Craig Smith: Dealing with lower-body injury

    Smith left Monday's practice early because of a lower-body injury, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

    Smith also didn't play in the third period Saturday in Washington's 4-3 loss to Pittsburgh. His availability for Wednesday's contest against the Islanders hasn't been determined yet. Smith has registered two goals, 25 shots on net, eight blocked shots and eight hits in 14 outings with the Capitals since being acquired from Boston.

  • Capitals' Craig Smith: Pots two goals

    Smith registered two goals and a plus-3 rating during Saturday's 8-3 win over the Sharks.

    Smith now has his first points since his arrival with the Capitals as part of the trade that sent Dmitry Orlov and Garnet Hathaway to the Bruins. The 33-year-old pending unrestricted free agent has six goals and 12 points in 44 games between the Bruins and Capitals this season.

  • Capitals' Craig Smith: Capitals debut Saturday

    Smith will make his Washington debut Saturday versus the Rangers, Tarik El-Bashir of The Athletic reports.

    Smith was part of the deal that sent Dmitry Orlov and Garnet Hathaway to Boston. Smith had only four goals and 10 points in 42 games with the Bruins this season and should see a bottom-six role with the Capitals.

  • Capitals' Craig Smith: Dealt to Capitals

    Smith was acquired by Washington from Boston on Thursday along with a 2023 first-round pick, a 2025 second-round selection and a 2024 fourth-round pick in exchange for Dmitry Orlov and Garnet Hathaway.

    Smith has four goals and 10 points in 42 contests while averaging 10:15 of ice time with Boston this season. A fresh start might do him some good, though the 33-year-old will likely serve in a bottom-six role with the Capitals just as he did in Boston. Smith is in the final season of a three-year, $9.3 million contract and can become an unrestricted free agent this summer.

  • Bruins' Craig Smith: Grabs helper Sunday

    Smith registered an assist in Sunday's 4-0 win over San Jose.

    Smith has helpers in three straight games as he finds himself elevated to a first-line role. On the year, the Wisconsin native has generated just eight points in 32 contests and may be hard-pressed to reach the 30-point threshold for the sixth consecutive year.

  • Bruins' Craig Smith: Nets rare goal

    Smith scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.

    Smith gave the Bruins an early 2-0 lead in the first period, converting on a Nick Foligno assist. The tally snapped Smith's seven-game point drought, and it was his first goal since Oct. 27. The winger is up to five points, 31 shots, 23 hits and a minus-1 rating through 25 contests. He should see fairly steady bottom-six minutes while Jake DeBrusk (lower body) is out of action.
