Smith was selected in the second round, 54th overall, by the Nashville Predators in the 2007 National Hockey League Entry Draft.

On July 5, 2013, Smith signed a one-year contract as a free agent with the Columbus Blue Jackets.
After attending the Blue Jackets training camp he was assigned to AHL affiliate, the Springfield Falcons.
On July 2, 2014, Smith signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Boston Bruins. Smith was sent down to Providence Bruins to be a call up along with Malcolm Subban for the majority of the season.
On July 1, 2015 the Boston Bruins re-signed Smith to a one-year, two way contract. With Smith unable to earn the backup role and with the Bruins suffering a surplus of goaltenders in their system, he was assigned on loan to AHL affiliate club of the Minnesota Wild, the Iowa Wild, for the duration of the 2015-2016 season on October 6, 2015.
