Smith, 27, had been with the Tampa Bay Lightning organization for three years after signing with them in July of 2019. Exactly one month ago, on January 19th, the Red Wings claimed Smith off waivers from the Lightning, where he would join forces with his brother, Givani.
He split his brief tenure with the Red Wings between the big club and their AHL affiliate in Grand Rapids. In three games for the Red Wings, the Toronto native had one assist, five penalty minutes and was a minus-two.
In other waiver related news, Victor Rask of the Minnesota Wild and Connor Bunnaman of the Philadelphia Flyers both cleared on Saturday afternoon and have been assigned to their respective American Hockey League clubs.
