The Nashville Predators received a much-needed offensive boost for Game 6 versus the Anaheim Ducks, as forward Craig Smith is back in the lineup.

Smith missed Games 4 and 5 with a lower-body injury, and returns to the ice with the season on the line. He'll return to the Predators second line with Mike Ribeiro and Calle Jarnkrok.

Nashville has struggled to score throughout the series, and have only mounted three goals over their last three games - all of which were Anaheim wins.

Smith scored 21 goals in the regular season, and had two points in three games to begin the series.
