In 194 games with Spokane, Smith has scored 26 goals, 150 assists (14th in franchise history) and 176 points. He led the Chiefs in assists the past two seasons.

Spokane will play three games in as many nights this weekend starting on Friday night when they host the Seattle Thunderbirds. The Chiefs will travel to Tri-City on Saturday before returning home on Sunday when Everett visits the Arena.
