Reilly Smith - NHL News & Rumors

Snags assist in win Smith posted an assist, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Lightning.

Impact Smith has racked up three helpers over nine contests since returning to the Golden Knights in a trade from the Rangers. The 33-year-old has mostly been limited to bottom-six usage and a bit of power-play time on the second unit since returning to Vegas. He's collected 32 points, 102 shots on net, 46 hits, 40 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 67 appearances this season, giving him some utility as a depth forward in fantasy.

First apple back in Vegas colors Smith registered an assist in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Kings.

Impact The helper was Smith's first point in two games since he was traded back to the Golden Knights after a poor run with the Rangers. The 33-year-old has been listed on the fourth line in the last two games, but he's seen ice time in line with middle-six usage, which is consistent with what would be expected of the winger. For the season, Smith has 30 points, 91 shots on net, 43 hits, 34 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 60 appearances. He won't do much more than add a little bit across the board, so his fantasy value is mostly limited to deeper formats.

Headed back to Sin City Smith was traded to the Golden Knights from the Rangers on Thursday in exchange for Brendan Brisson and a 2025 third-round pick, Larry Brooks of The New York Post reports.

Impact Smith has struggled to produce at similar levels ever since leaving Vegas after the 2022-23 campaign. He managed 40 points in 76 games for Pittsburgh last year and has been limited to a mere 29 points in 58 outings with the Rangers this season. The return to Vegas will likely see Smith slot into a middle-six role, though he could push for a spot on the first line with Jack Eichel and Mark Stone.

Sitting out Sunday Smith won't play against Nashville on Sunday because of roster management purposes, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports.

Impact Smith, a pending unrestricted free agent after the 2024-25 campaign, could be traded before Friday's deadline. He has generated 10 goals, 29 points, 89 shots on net, 34 blocked shots and 42 hits across 58 appearances this season.

Two apples in road victory Smith collected a pair of assists, one on the power play, in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Penguins.

Impact Smith produced the secondary helper on Will Cuylle's 15th goal of the season in the opening frame before he set up Adam Fox's go-ahead tally at 11:26 of the third period. Smith had been held off the scoresheet in six of seven games prior to Sunday. The veteran winger has contributed 10 goals and 28 points across 56 appearances this season. Smith is on pace for 41 points, which would be one more than the 40 he recorded with the Penguins in 2023-24.

Two assists Sunday Smith registered two assists and had four shots on goal in Sunday's 5-4 loss to Colorado.

Impact Smith's pair of helpers came on New York's final two goals of the afternoon, helping Will Borgen and Artemi Panarin find the back of the net. The 33-year-old right winger has 15 assists, 25 points and 79 shots on net in 48 games this year. He has back-to-back efforts with two points and is trending in the right direction offensively. Smith is close to the pace needed to match his point total of 40 from a season ago and is in a promising position to do so on New York's second line. For now, his fantasy relevance is best suited for deeper leagues.

Two-point effort in win Smith had a goal and an assist Thursday in a 6-1 victory over the Flyers.

Impact He put in a power-play marker at 18:15 of the third for the 6-1 final. Smith has just four points (two goals, two assists) in his last nine games, and he has but 17 shots in that span. He has 75 shots in 47 games this season, but that puts him on a 130-shot pace, the lowest of his career since the COVID-19 shortened 2020-21. Smith's 23 points (10 goals, 13 assists) in 47 games give some the perception that he's underperforming, but that's a 40-point pace, which would match 2023-24. Right now, Smith won't add value unless he goes on a tear.
