Like a few other important players on the Nashville Predators roster, Craig Smith experience a slow start to his season.
Smith didn’t score his first goal of the season until the 10th game in, and then only managed two more goals after that leading up to mid-December.
An aggressive player like Smith is vital to the Predators offensively. He gets a lot of quality shots on goal, pushes hard when forechecking and is always forcing the action.
Even though he wasn’t producing in terms of scoring goals in the first half of the season, his intensity never really wavered.
