  • Predators' Cole Smith: Delivers helper in win

    Smith logged an assist and five hits in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

    Smith snapped a nine-game point drought with the helper. In that span, he had 16 hits, 15 shots on net and 14 PIM. Smith's a tough customer, and that's been enough to keep him in a bottom-six role for much of the season despite sparse contributions on offense. He's at 11 points, 57 shots on net, 132 hits, 67 PIM and a minus-8 rating through 58 appearances.

  • Predators' Cole Smith: Scores twice Saturday

    Smith potted two goals in a 7-4 loss to the Islanders on Saturday.

    Smith scored two goals in the third period, but that wasn't enough to mount a comeback for the Predators. His first multi-point effort of 2024-25 ended a 30-goal drought. Smith has registered four goals and 10 points across 48 appearances this season.

  • Predators' Cole Smith: Adds helper Tuesday

    Smith posted an assist and seven PIM in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Panthers.

    This was Smith's third assist over his last five games. He also fought Sam Bennett in retaliation for the Panthers forward's hit on Roman Josi in the second period. Smith is up to eight points, 38 shots on net, 51 PIM, 110 hits and a minus-10 rating over 46 outings this season. He plays in a fourth-line role and offers little in fantasy aside from physicality.

  • Predators' Cole Smith: Manages assist in loss

    Smith notched an assist, two shots on goal, five hits and two PIM in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Blackhawks.

    The helper was Smith's first point in eight games since he returned from a lower-body injury Jan. 21. The 29-year-old has resumed a fourth-line role, though he's logged 14-plus minutes in five of those eight contests. Smith has six points, 36 shots on net, 44 PIM, 105 hits and a minus-10 rating across 42 outings. The physicality is solid, but he'll need to be more consistent on offense to draw much attention in fantasy.

  • Predators' Cole Smith: Activated from IR

    Smith (lower body) was activated from injured reserve Tuesday, per the NHL media site.

    Smith should occupy a bottom-six role in Tuesday's matchup against San Jose after missing the last 11 games. He has compiled two goals, five points, 29 shots on net, 15 blocked shots and 79 hits through 34 appearances this season. Smith will replace Mark Jankowski (upper body) in Tuesday's lineup.

  • Predators' Cole Smith: Might be available Tuesday

    Head coach Andrew Brunette labeled Smith (lower body) as a game-time decision for Tuesday's home matchup against San Jose, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

    Smith has missed 11 consecutive games due to his injury -- he last suited up Dec. 21 versus the Kings. If the 29-year-old is able to return Tuesday, he'll likely slot in on the fourth line. The Minnesota native has chipped in two goals and three helpers through 34 appearances this season.

  • Predators' Cole Smith: Considered day-to-day

    Head coach Andrew Brunette said Monday that Smith (lower body) is considered day-to-day, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

    Smith has been on injured reserve for nearly a month due to a lower-body injury, but he appears to be close to returning to game action. Brunette isn't yet sure whether Smith will be available for Tuesday's game against San Jose, but he said that if the 29-year-old can't return against the Sharks, he's unlikely to miss much more time.

  • Predators' Cole Smith: Facing extended absence

    Smith was placed on injured reserve Monday and will miss 4-6 weeks due to a lower-body injury.

    Smith was injured in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Kings after blocking a shot, according to Alex Daugherty of The Tennessean. Juuso Parssinen could receive more playing time as a result of Smith's injury. The Predators went with 11 forwards and seven defensemen Monday against Carolina.

  • 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.

    Smith snapped a six-game slump with his helper on a Mark Jankowski goal in the third period. The 29-year-old Smith has remained in a bottom-six role throughout the year, adding heavy play to the lineup. He has just five points to go with 60 hits, 23 shots on net, 15 PIM and a minus-9 rating through 26 outings overall.

  • 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.

  • Predators' Cole Smith: Lights lamp in overtime loss

    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: Nets goal in overtime win

    Smith scored a goal on two shots, added six hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.

    Smith tied the game at 2-2 early in the third period. The winger had no offense through six games, but he has earned a point in each of his last two contests. For the season, he has a goal, an assist, nine shots on net, 20 hits, eight PIM and a minus-5 rating over eight appearances. Smith is likely to remain in a bottom-six role.

  • 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: Unavailable Friday

    Smith (upper body) will not play Friday against the Canucks for Game 6.

    Smith is considered day-to-day, indicating he could return Sunday for Game 7 if Nashville avoids elimination. The 28-year-old has 12 hits and no points in five games this series. Juuso Parssinen will dress in Smith's absence for Game 6.

  • Predators' Cole Smith: Back in action

    Smith (rest) is slated to play Monday versus the Penguins, per Zach Gilchriest of the Predators' official site.

    Smith will play in Nashville's regular-season finale after missing Saturday's 6-4 win over Columbus for roster management purposes. He has chipped in nine goals, 23 points, 111 shots on net and 233 hits in 79 games this season.

  • 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.

  • Predators' Cole Smith: Pots goal Tuesday

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

    This was Smith's second tally in the last three games. He tipped in a Michael McCarron shot late in the second period for what ended up being the game-winning goal. 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.
