Šmits has a never-ending desire to get involved and influence the game in every situation – while also having the tools to do so – setting him apart from many of his peers. He gaps up early and forces the hand of attackers before they reach the blue line. Once the puck crosses into the defensive zone, he applies relentless pressure, looking to pin down attackers, poke the puck away with his stick, and box out threats near the front of the net.
