The Vegas Golden Knights acquired forward Cole Smith in a trade Tuesday evening, sending defenseman Christoffer Sedoff and a 2028 third-round pick to Nashville in the deal.
Smith, 30, was pulled off the ice in the first period of Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets after a single three-second shift.
He's played his entire six-year NHL career with Nashville, recording 62 points (23 goals, 39 assists) in 271 games. This season, he's recorded 10 points (six goals, four assists) and 119 hits in 42 games.
Smith is the second player Nashville shipped off Tuesday ahead of Friday's trade deadline. The Predators also sent forward Michael McCarron to Minnesota for a 2028 second-round pick after scratching him from Tuesday's lineup for roster management reasons, giving Nashville five picks in the first three rounds of the 2028 draft.
Smith is the final season of a two-year, $2 million contract. He arrives as a pending free agent in Vegas, which leads the Pacific Division by one point over Anaheim entering Wednesday's action.
