Zack Smith opened the scoring in Game 5 Thursday night.
His first career postseason goal came just over two minutes into the opening period on a juicy rebound in front of Montreal starter Peter Budaj. Smith was credited with nine hits and 15 penalty minutes (all of which came in one game) in Ottawa's first-round series.

Zack Smith has netted three goals in his last seven games after going 23 straight contests without a marker to open the year.
He has also added two assists during his recent goal-scoring surge. Smith has 13 points and 32 penalty minutes along with 57 hits in 30 games this campaign.

Zack Smith skated on the Senators' first line Friday night and he proved worthy of the opportunity scoring a goal.
Smith centered Daniel Alfredsson and Milan Michalek on the top unit while Kyle Turris moved down to play on the team's second line. Obviously, if Smith, who has scored in two consecutive games, can keep this gig his fantasy value increases siginificantly.

Zack Smith potted a goal and added an assist but it wasn't enough as the Senators fell to the Maple Leafs 5-4 on Wednesday night.
Smith is more of an agitative type with limited offensive capabilities. The 24-year-old's goal was just his first in 24 games this season. Colin Greening, Daniel Alfredsson and Mika Zibanejad were the others to find the back of the net. Erik Condra had two assists.

After 16 games, Ottawa's Zack Smith is still looking for his first goal of the season.
He hasn't found the back of the net since March 10, 2012, which equates to a stretch of 29 games. Smith has collected five assists and 22 penalty minutes this year.

Zack Smith didn't participate in Monday's practice for "maintenance," according to the Senators.
Coach Paul MacLean said Smith was dealing with a "lower body" problem, which was caused by a blocked a shot against Pittsburgh on Sunday. Smith has one assist, 11 shots and seven penalty minutes in five games this season. We'll list him as active for now.
