The team has moved from KHL to Austrian league this off season, but was playing in KHL three months ago. Two Russians were banned along with Smith, so I believe the test was related to KHL.
So says the article:
MOSCOW — Danis Zaripov, who played for Russia at the 2010 Olympics, is among three Kontinental Hockey League players banned for doping
...
The KHL also said that the IIHF had banned Canadian defenseman Derek Smith until September 2018 for a failed test
