“Benny gives us energy. He’s one of those players that offensively, defensively, he’s responsible. He’s been practicing hard and you lose a guy like (Hossa) and you’re looking to fill a little bit of skill for us as well.”

“Obviously, you always want to be better,” said Smith, who had one shot on goal, one giveaway and two blocked shots. “You want to make a bigger impact. But I was just having a blast out there. It was intense. The building, it was a great atmosphere. It was a lot of fun for me. I wish it was a win for us.”

“Being in Boston it was nice. I was actually with my mom this afternoon for a bit [for lunch],” Smith said. “It’s nice being close to home, but it’s a business trip here and we’re trying to win some games.”
