Date	News	Advice
March 7, 2024	Smith posted an assist in Thursday's 7-2 loss to the Islanders. - Smith picked up his first point in five games since he returned from a lower-body injury that sidelined him for two months. The 26-year-old winger has four points, 27 shots on net, 70 hits, 33 PIM and a minus-8 rating over 31 appearances. Smith's played almost exclusively on the fourth line and offers almost no upside for fantasy managers.	None
Feb. 21, 2024	Smith (lower body) will be activated off injured reserve and play Saturday versus Nashville, coach David Quinn told Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News on Wednesday. - Smith is set to play for the first time since Dec. 21. He has a goal, three points, 33 PIM and 59 hits in 26 contests this season. Smith will likely serve on the fourth line Saturday.	None
Feb. 15, 2024	Smith (lower body) won't play Thursday against Calgary, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports. - Smith is evidently nearing a return to full health, but he'll remain on injured reserve for now. He's picked up just three points through 26 contests this season, so fantasy managers don't need to track his status.	None
Feb. 14, 2024	Smith (lower body) may be available for Thursday's game versus the Flames, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports. - Smith has been out since Dec. 23, though he joined the Sharks on their current road trip. His return is apparently close, but he's unlikely to see more than a fourth-line role if he gets into the lineup at all once activated from injured reserve.	None
Jan. 20, 2024	Although Smith (lower body) did skate Saturday, he's not close to returning, coach David Quinn told Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now. - Smith, who hasn't played since Dec. 21, has a goal, three points, 33 PIM and 45 hits in 26 contests this season. When Smith is an option, he will compete for a fourth-line spot and might also occasionally serve as a healthy scratch.	None
Dec. 28, 2023	Per Max Miller of The Hockey News, Smith (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Thursday. - Smith was injured Dec. 21 versus Arizona and his status will likely be retroactive to that date. Smith has gone 11 games without a point and has a goal, two assists, 45 hits and 33 PIM in 26 games this season.	None
Dec. 27, 2023	Smith (lower body) won't play Wednesday versus the Kings, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports. - Smith was hurt last Thursday and his absence will now reach two games. The 25-year-old should be considered questionable at best for Thursday's contest versus the Oilers.	None
Dec. 23, 2023	Smith (lower body) won't play Saturday against the Canucks, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now. - Smith, who is considered day-to-day, was injured in Thursday's 5-2 loss to Arizona. In 26 appearances this season, he has registered three points, 33 PIM, 27 shots on goal and 45 hits. With Alexander Barabanov (illness) also unavailable to play, Jacob MacDonald could shift back to forward for Saturday's contest.	None
Dec. 21, 2023	Smith (undisclosed) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Coyotes, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports. - Smith was hurt in the second period on a hit from Matt Dumba in the neutral zone. The 25-year-old Smith has filled a fourth-line role for most of the time he's in the lineup, so his absence won't make waves in fantasy. If he misses time, Alexander Barabanov is likely to return to the lineup.	None
Dec. 1, 2023	Smith has a mid-body injury and a decision on if he will be in the lineup will be made after the pregame skate Friday versus New Jersey, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports. - Smith was injured Thursday in Boston and it may have occurred during his fight with Trent Frederic late in the second period, as he did not play in the third. Smith has a goal, two assists, 29 PIM and 35 hits in 21 games this season.	None
Nov. 16, 2023	Smith scored a goal on three shots, dished an assist, added two hits and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Blues. - Smith has three points on the year, all of which have come over the last two games. His second-period goal was his first as a Shark. The 25-year-old has added 24 shots on net, 22 PIM, 25 hits and a minus-3 rating while playing in a fourth-line role over 15 appearances. Despite his uptick in offense, he's unlikely to sustain his scoring long enough to make an impact in fantasy.	None
Nov. 14, 2023	Smith earned an assist, fired two shots on goal and added two PIM in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Panthers. - Smith saw just 5:55 of ice time Tuesday, but he was able to set up Mike Hoffman for a first-period goal. Entering Tuesday, Smith was averaging 8:44 of ice time per game. The 25-year-old continues to see a limited role on the fourth line, where he's contributed 23 hits, 22 PIM, 21 shots on net and a minus-5 rating through 14 appearances.	None
Oct. 27, 2023	Smith was scoreless in Friday's 3-0 road loss against the Hurricanes. - Smith ended up with two shots on goal, two minor penalties, two blocked shots and a hit in his 9:53 of ice time across 14 shifts. He has very little fantasy appeal outside of the deepest pools, but he can be helpful in the PIM and hits categories.	None
July 1, 2023	Smith signed a two-year, $1.6 million contract with the Sharks on Saturday. - The Panthers elected not to qualify Smith after he logged four points (one goal, three assists) in 34 games. The 25-year-old Smith will bring a physical element to San Jose's bottom six -- he racked up 63 hits and 72 PIM last year.	None
June 30, 2023	Smith was not qualified by Florida on Friday, making him an unrestricted free agent, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports. - Smith scored four points in 36 combined games with Detroit and Florida last season. His physicality could land him a bottom-line role somewhere, as he also added 67 hits and 72 PIM in 2022-23.	None
Feb. 24, 2023	Smith (face) was placed on long-term injured reserve Friday, David Dwork of Local 10 Miami reports. - The Panthers are up against the cap with the return of Anthony Duclair (Achilles) to the lineup, as well as injuries to Aleksander Barkov (hand) and Sam Bennett (lower body), both of whom are unavailable Friday against Buffalo. Smith was hit in the face by a Radko Gudas shot in the second period Monday against Anaheim and had a procedure done this week, forcing him out of action until late March. The feisty forward has a goal and three assists with 47 PIM and 48 hits in 22 NHL games this season.	None
Feb. 20, 2023	Smith left Monday's 4-3 overtime win over Anaheim in the second period after being hit in the face by a shot from teammate Radko Gudas, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports. - Coach Paul Maurice said following the contest that X-rays came back negative and Smith won't need to enter concussion protocol. Despite the encouraging news, it's unclear at this time if Smith will be available for Friday's matchup with Buffalo. If he can't play, Chris Tierney could draw back into the lineup.	None
Jan. 3, 2023	Smith was called up from AHL Charlotte on Tuesday. - Smith will most likely provide coverage as an emergency depth option rather than actually suiting up against the Coyotes on Tuesday. Still, the team obviously is impressed enough with the young winger to trade for him in mid-December despite having recorded just five points in 22 AHL games this year. If he does get into the lineup during this stint in the NHL, it will almost certainly be in a fourth-line role where he will see minimal minutes.	None
Dec. 24, 2022	Smith was loaned to AHL Charlotte on Friday, per the AHL transaction page. - Smith logged 7:01 of ice time and posted four hits during his Florida debut Friday against the Islanders. There is a chance he could be back with the Panthers following the holiday break.	None
Dec. 23, 2022	Smith was recalled from AHL Charlotte on Friday. - Smith moves up to the big club after a trade from Detroit on Monday. Smith has seven goals and 14 points in his 85-game NHL career, along with 138 PIM. He should be a bottom-six energy player, with the Panthers.	None
Dec. 19, 2022	Detroit traded Smith to Florida in a three-team deal Monday that sent Danny O'Regan to the Red Wings and Michael Del Zotto to Anaheim. - Smith was selected in the second round of the 2016 NHL Entry Draft but has never quite found his footing at the top level. He had 14 points and 138 PIM in 85 career NHL games with Detroit. The 24-year-old winger has five points in 19 AHL games this season and he'll now report to AHL Charlotte.	None
Nov. 11, 2022	Smith was demoted to AHL Grand Rapids on Friday, per CapFriendly. - Smith was added to the roster to serve as insurance Thursday against the Rangers and will now head back to the minors. He has two points with a minus-9 rating in eight AHL appearances this season.	None
Nov. 10, 2022	Smith was recalled from AHL Grand Rapids on Thursday, - Smith has played two games with Detroit this season, but he failed to pick up a point over that span. The bottom-six forward has averaged close to 10 minutes of ice time per game during his 85-game NHL career, and he's scored seven times while adding seven assists over that stretch. He will provide forward depth as the Red Wings head out to the West Coast after Thursday's home tilt against the Rangers.	None
Nov. 1, 2022	Smith was assigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Tuesday. - Michael Rasmussen will be eligible to return to the lineup Thursday from his suspension, so Smith will return to the minors after playing in Detroit's past two games.	None
Oct. 29, 2022	Smith was recalled from AHL Grand Rapids on Saturday, Kevin Allen of Detroit Hockey Now reports. - Smith will replace Michael Rasmussen on the roster after Rasmussen was given a two-game suspension for his hit to the head of Boston's David Krejci on Thursday. Smith had one assist in three games with the Griffins before his recall, after managing four goals and seven points in 46 games with the Red Wings in 2021-22.	None
Oct. 9, 2022	Detroit waived Smith on Sunday, CapFriendly reports. - The 24-year-old winger scored four goals and seven points in 46 games with Detroit last season. Smith could split time between the Red Wings and AHL Grand Rapids again during the 2022-23 campaign.	None
Sept. 22, 2022	Smith (undisclosed) was on the ice for the first day of Red Wings training camp Thursday, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports. - Smith missed 19 games at the end of last season. The 24-year-old is once again on the roster fringe for the Red Wings, so he'll need to impress in camp or else end up with AHL Grand Rapids. He put up seven points, 108 PIM and 86 hits in 46 contests last year.	None
April 29, 2022	Smith (undisclosed) will not play in Friday's season finale against New Jersey, per the NHL's media site. - Smith missed the final 19 games of the season with undisclosed injuries and healthy scratches. The 24-year-old scored seven points while averaging 8:28 of ice time in 46 appearances.	None
April 23, 2022	Smith (undisclosed) won't play Saturday against Pittsburgh, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports. - Smith's tallied just seven points through 46 contests this season, so his absence won't make waves in most fantasy circles. Another update on his status should be released if and when he's cleared to rejoin the lineup.	None
April 19, 2022	Smith (undisclosed) is healthy but will not play Tuesday against Tampa Bay, per NHL.com. - Smith had missed the last 13 games already and now he's simply a healthy scratch. The 24-year-old winger has just seven points through 46 games this season.	None
March 31, 2022	Smith (undisclosed) doesn't have a timetable for his return, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports. - At this point Smith, who's already missed four games with an undisclosed injury, can be considered out indefinitely. The 24-year-old winger has tallied just seven points through 46 games this season, so there's no reason for fantasy managers to monitor his status.	None
March 27, 2022	Smith (undisclosed) will not play Sunday against the Penguins. - Smith will miss his third straight game Sunday, though he's still considered day-to-day. The 24-year-old could return as early as Wednesday against the Rangers. He has seven points while averaging 8:28 of ice time through 46 appearances.	None
March 26, 2022	Smith (undisclosed) remains day-to-day ahead of Saturday's clash with the Islanders, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports. - Smith missed the latest contest -- a 5-2 loss to the Islanders -- as well as Friday's practice, which makes it a foregone conclusion that he won't suit up against the Lightning on Saturday. Meanwhile, the Wings expect to get Filip Zadina (illness) back against the Bolts, and that should afford Smith more time to recover.	None
March 24, 2022	Smith is dealing with an undisclosed injury that will keep him out of the lineup versus the Islanders. - In addition to Smith, the Wings will also be missing Filip Zadina (illness) which will press Chase Pearson into the lineup for his NHL debut. The 24-year-old Smith has served as a healthy scratch for seven of the club's last 15 contests, so few fantasy players figure to be impacted by his absence.	None
Jan. 28, 2022	Smith scored a power-play goal in a 3-2 shootout win over the Penguins on Friday. - Smith had gone 15 games without a point, and with just two seconds of power play action, so this one comes out of left field. The left winger has mostly provided value in the sin bin this season for fantasy managers, with five points and 87 PIM to his name.	None
Jan. 22, 2022	Smith was assigned from the active roster to AHL Grand Rapids on Saturday. - Smith will undergo a conditioning stint with AHL Grand Rapids. The 23-year-old has averaged 7:03 of ice time and been held without a point over eight appearances since clearing the NHL's COVID-19 protocols Jan. 2. Smith and his brother, Gemel Smith, were assigned to the AHL for conditioning stints Saturday.	None
Dec. 27, 2021	Smith was removed from COVID-19 protocols Monday. - Smith should be ready to rock for Wednesday's road tilt versus the Islanders. He had been on non-roster IR, but the gritty winger evidently logged a pair of negative COVID-19 tests within a 24-hour window to obtain clearance for the upcoming contest. Smith has two goals, two assists, 15 blocked shots and 39 hits through 24 games.	None
Dec. 18, 2021	Smith was placed in COVID-19 protocols Saturday, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports. - Smith has surfaced on non-roster IR, per the NHL's official media site. Fantasy managers won't be shaken up about this news considering Smith is a bottom-six grinder who has only four points in 24 games this season, but the Wings could be hurting a bit in the physicality department without him. Look for Riley Barber to occupy the left wing in Smith's absence.	None
Dec. 11, 2021	Smith has four points -- two goals, two assists -- through 22 games and 8:18 of average ice time this season. - Smith is planted in a fourth-line role; he plays with a high degree of physicality and brings plenty of energy to seemingly make the most of limited action. It would be interesting to see what he would do with a heavier role considering he's averaging 1.3 points/60 minutes. For comparison's sake, Filip Zadina, Detroit's sixth overall pick from 2018, is averaging 1.4 points/60 minutes in a bigger role that includes power-play responsibilities. Smith won't be a fantasy asset unless he can carve out a larger role, but he has some untapped potential.	None
Dec. 4, 2021	Smith scored a goal on three shots, dished an assist, blocked three shots, went plus-3 and added two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Islanders. - Smith set up Sam Gagner for the go-ahead goal in the first period. In the second, Smith turned a blocked shot into offense, scoring on a rush. He doubled his scoring output to four points in 19 contests this year, matching his total from 16 games last season. All four of his points have come in the last seven contests. The 23-year-old has added 21 shots, 33 hits, 21 PIM and a minus-1 rating while playing in a fourth-line role.	None
Nov. 27, 2021	Smith could ascend to the top-six group of forwards, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports. - Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill hinted at the possibility of breaking up the second line, which would involve Filip Zadina moving down the depth chart in favor of Smith, who Blashill calls a "net-presence, big-body guy (joining) a playmaking center with a shooter in (Robby) Fabbri." There's no guarantee that Smith will be in the top six for Saturday's game against the Sabres, but the gritty winger really needs a push given that he's recorded only one goal to go with a minus-6 rating through 15 contests.	None
Nov. 18, 2021	Smith scored a goal on four shots and added four hits in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Golden Knights. - Smith capitalized on a net-front scramble in the second period to get his first goal of the year. The 23-year-old has been limited to fourth-line minutes when he's in the lineup. The goal Thursday was his first point of the year to go with 13 shots on net, 23 hits, 19 PIM and a minus-4 rating in 13 contests.	None
May 7, 2021	Givani Smith had 13:31 of ice time in the Red Wings' 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets on Friday. He took three shots and had a plus-minus of -1 for the game.	None

Smith's played almost exclusively on the fourth line and offers almost no upside for fantasy managers.

2024-02-21	analysis		Smith is set to play for the first time since Dec. 21. He has a goal, three points, 33 PIM and 59 hits in 26 contests this season. Smith will likely serve on the fourth line Saturday.

2024-02-15	analysis	Smith has been out since Dec. 23, though he joined the Sharks on their current road trip.

Smith is evidently nearing a return to full health, but he'll remain on injured reserve for now. He's picked up just three points through 26 contests this season, so fantasy managers don't need to track his status.
