Predators' Craig Smith: Revives career in 2017-18

After three consecutive seasons of declining offensive totals, Smith took a major step forward this year, falling just one point shy of the career-best 52 points he posted back in 2013-14. A huge part of Smith's success this season was the chemistry he enjoyed with Kyle Turris and Kevin Fiala on the team's second line, so there's a good chance coach Peter Laviolette will look to stick with that same line combination next season. Don't overlook the 28-year-old Smith at the draft table come October.

Predators' Craig Smith: Assists OT winner

The former Wisconsin Badger used his speed to beat the defender wide before feeding Fiala in front of the net, who ended the game with a sweet backhand finish. Smith now has just three points in eight postseason games, despite the fact that he's played a prominent role on the power play.

Predators' Craig Smith: Pots two goals in Thursday's win

The markers give the 28-year-old winger a new career high in goals with 25, and he's also hit the 50-point threshold for the second time in his career. Smith is meshing well with Kyle Turris on the second line and could be a sneaky play to consider in daily formats as the season winds down given that he has four goals and six points in his last five games.

Predators' Craig Smith: Inching closer to 50-point plateau

Now at 46 points (22 goals, 24 assists), Smith will need a big push heading into the final week of the regular season in order to crack the 50-point mark for just the second time in his career. Either way, it's been a very positive turnaround season for Smith, who finished with just 29 points a year ago.

Predators' Craig Smith: Dishing frequently

The Wisconsin native bagged two apples against the Coyotes on Thursday, and he replicated the effort in this playoff-clinching victory over the Avalanche. Smith -- who is up to 21 goals and 23 assists with 11 regular-season games remaining -- is a dangerous offensive contributor given that he's equally adept at scoring and setting up goals all the same. You could certainly do worse than using Smith as a No. 3 forward in the fantasy playoffs.
