The Colorado Avalanche played their second preseason game last night. Forward Ben Smith helped the Avs collect their second victory of the preseason by getting the game-winning goal.
Smith has two goals in two games during the preseason thus far. And, he is one of only four individuals that has played in both games to this point.
Furthermore, he’s also playing penalty kill and powerplay minutes, thus adding to his versatility and usage as a depth player.
To be honest, he kind of reminds me of John Mitchell — a Leatherman type player that can pull out whatever tools necessary to get the job done.
