Craig Smith News
The Bruins have signed Craig Smith to a three-year deal worth $9.3 million ($3.1M AAV).

Smith has provided great secondary scoring throughout his career in Nashville and will fill a similar third-line role in Boston. Smith was on-pace for 21 goals before the 2020 season was cut short. It would have been sixth time in seven years that Smith broke the 20-goal barrier. He has a solid floor but limited upside. Expect him to finish 2021 around 20 goals and 20 assists.

The Predators have placed Craig Smith (lower-body) on IR.

Smith was a late-scratch on Tuesday and will not be available to play in Thursday’s game against the Kings. This move allows the Predators to recall Tyler Gaudet from Milwaukee, which suggests that Viktor Arvidsson could be in danger of missing tonight’s game as well.

Smith (undisclosed) is expected to draw back into the Predators lineup on Tuesday.

Smith has missed the last two games with what was being called rest, but he was back on the ice for the morning skate on Tuesday and is expected to play vs. Dallas. Smith has had a nice season, picking up 20 goals and 19 assists (39 points) in 62 games.
