Smith appeared in one game with the Predators last season, spending almost all of the season in Chicago (AHL), where he had five goals and five assists in 23 games. Look for Smith to report to the AHL to open the 2021-22 campaign.









Lauzon was scratched from the lineup for Game 2 and has already been ruled out for Game 3 as well. Look for Connor Clifton to remain in the lineup on Wednesday.



Lauzon was banged up in Game 1, so it is believed this decision is health-related. Connor Clifton will draw in to replace Lauzon whether it's an injury or coach's decision. Lauzon was credited with eight hits and four blocked shots in 19:12 TOI in Game 1.


Lauzon is one of 16 regulars who will not be in the Bruins lineup on Tuesday. The Bruins will need to recall multiple players from their taxi squad/AHL to fill out their lineup.
