Zack Smith scores in Ottawa's 3-1 loss to Detroit

Ottawa Senators center Zack Smith netted the only goal for the Senators during a 3-1 loss to the Detroit Red Wings on Wednesday night.

What It Means:

Smith now has 12 goals on the season. He spoiled Petr Mrazek's shutout bid with a power-play goal at 17:36 of the third period, cutting the Wings' lead to 2-1.

He has five assists to go with those 12 goals in 54 games this season. We project Smith to tally another three goals and two assists over the remainder of the campaign. Smith's 1.5 Relative Corsi For Percentage at Even Strength is a career-best clip, and his 50.9 Corsi For Percentage is right in line with his career average of 50.5.
