CJ-Smith2

Buffalo Sabres‘ undrafted sophomore left wing C.J. Smith(49) scores a 1st NHL recall since skating two games (1 assist) after completing a third season at UMass-Lowell.

The 5’11” 181 lbs. forward is currently 2nd in goals, assists and points for affiliate Rochester Americans.

He led all rookies last year in scoring with 17 goals and 27 assists in 57 AHL games, but stayed in the minors despite the parent club’s shortcomings.

A point-per-game performer in college hockey, he spent two campaigns in the NAHL with Austin Bruins before upping his game to a single frame in the USHL before committing to school.

On a 1-year extension, he’s set to become a restricted free agent for a 2nd time but looks to be reupped for at least another look (or two).
