Ty Smith News
Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Ty Smith was placed on waivers by the club on Thursday, the first day of waivers on the 2023-24 NHL calendar. Just 23 years of age and a 2018 first-round pick, there's a solid chance Smith is claimed and the Penguins will be able to shed his $775K cap hit. The Lloydminster, AB native enjoyed a big rookie season in the 2020-21 campaign with the Devils, tallying two goals and 23 points across just 48 games played in the pandemic-shortened season. However, he slipped to just 20 points in 66 games the following season and skated in just nine games with the Penguins last season. The club acquired another right-shot defenseman in Erik Karlsson this summer, leaving Smith behind Kris Letang, Karlsson, and Chad Ruhwedel on the right side of the Penguins' blueline.
New Jersey Devils defenseman Ty Smith is ready for his season debut on Saturday against Buffalo. The talented blueliner missed the first three games of the campaign with a lower-body injury. He'll be eased into action on the third pairing. Smith was the top-scoring rookie defenseman last season with 23 points in 48 games, and Kirill Kaprizov and Jason Robertson were the only first-year players to get more assists than him. Smith and the rest of the blue line will have a rookie goalie behind them on Saturday as New Jersey gives a debut to 20-year-old Nico Daws.
New Jersey Devils defenseman Ty Smith will be out for a number of days due to an undisclosed injury. The 21-year-old, who is expected to take another step forward in his second NHL season, has yet to play a preseason game. Smith collected 23 points (two goals, 21 assists) while averaging 20:07 of ice time in 48 games in his debut season in New Jersey. The Alberta native is currently sitting at #162 in Yahoo's pre-season draft rankings and is getting selected in 70% of fantasy drafts.
New Jersey Devils defensemen P.K. Subban and Ty Smith have been ruled out of Tuesday's meeting with Pittsburgh. Subban was added to the NHL's COVID-19 protocol list on Tuesday and Smith is carrying an upper-body injury. It's a bitter blow for the Devils, who have already been without a number of key guys up front, and now the blue line gets a whole new look as well. Subban and Smith have combined for 40 points this season and the latter trails only Dallas' Jason Robertson among rookies with 19 assists. Ryan Murray and Damon Severson should be prepared for a huge workload on Tuesday night. Will Butcher will get into the lineup and should take up a spot on the power play.
