Reilly Smith - Page 4 - NHL News & Rumors

Acquired for picks Smith was traded to the Rangers from the Penguins on Monday in exchange for a 2027 second-round pick and a 2025 fifth-round pick.

Impact Smith never seemed to truly mesh with the Penguins, who acquired him in a trade from Vegas the previous offseason, scoring just 13 goals in 76 regular-season contests. The Rangers will be hoping to get at least 20 goals out of the 33-year-old winger, though he's only reached that mark once in his last four campaigns. Smith figures to slot into a third-line role but could provide cover for the top six if injuries pop up.

Struggling to score Smith managed just one goal in his last 15 games while chipping in six assists.

Impact Brought over from Vegas in the offseason, Smith struggled to reproduce his 2022-23 numbers when he racked up 26 goals and 30 helpers. The lack of productivity, combined with a $5 million cap hit, could see Smith on the trade block during the summer as the fit in Pittsburgh doesn't seem to be working.

Scores game-winner Smith scored on one of his three shots during Monday's 4-2 win over the Predators.

Impact The goal brings Smith up to 13 on the campaign, his lowest goal total since the 2014-15 season. He doesn't have the same goal-scoring prowess he had in his 20s, and this goal is an exception rather than a late-season surge. It's his first tally of the last 14 games.

Two helpers in win Smith grabbed a pair of assists in Thursday's 4-1 victory over the Capitals.

Impact Smith set up Ryan Shea's opening tally early in the first period before adding a second helper on Lars Eller's empty-netter in the third. It's the first multi-point game since March 17 for Smith, who had just two assists in his previous eight games. He's up to 37 points (12 goals, 25 assists) through 70 games this season.

Bags apple Monday Smith garnered an assist in a 5-2 win over the Rangers on Monday.

Impact Despite the helper, Smith remains mired in a seven-game goal drought dating back to March 17 versus the Red Wings. During his slump, the 33-year-old winger has registered just 12 shots to go with two assists, four hits and two blocks. With his offensive game underwhelming, Smith finds himself in a third-line role while Drew O'Connor gets minutes with Sidney Crosby on the top line.

Opens scoring Smith found the back of the net and added an assist in a 6-3 win over the Red Wings on Sunday.

Impact Smith opened the scoring for his 12th of the year and added a primary helper, both in the first period. The 32-year old third-line winger also contributed a plus-2 rating and three shots on net in 14:45 of ice time. Although he had not scored since March 5, he is now riding a three-game point streak with one goal and three assists over that span. Playing in the middle-six with the Penguins limits his upside for elite point acquisitions.

Reaches 500 career points Smith produced a goal and two assists in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact With his helper on an Evgeni Malkin goal late in the first period, Smith reached the 500-point plateau for his career. The multi-point performance was his first since Dec. 23, but the 32-year-old winger has been a fairly reliable contributor for the Penguins in a top-six role of late, collecting two goals and eight points over the last 10 games.

Helps out in overtime Smith logged an assist, three shots on goal, two hits and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canucks.

Impact The helper was Smith's fourth point over the last six games. The winger helped out on Erik Karlsson's game-winning tally in overtime. Smith is likely to see a substantially larger role with Jake Guentzel (upper body) and Bryan Rust (upper body) both out of the lineup. Through 50 games, Smith has 25 points, 101 shots on net, 35 hits and an even plus-minus rating.

Puts away 10th goal Smith scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Smith has scored twice in his last four games to reach the 10-goal mark on the season. The 32-year-old is at 22 points, 91 shots on net, 27 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 45 appearances. His first year in Pittsburgh hasn't gone as well as expected, but he'll have a chance to make up for his struggles while Jake Guentzel (upper body) is out for four weeks.

Lights lamp in Friday's loss Smith scored his ninth goal of the season in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Wild.

Impact In his second game back from an upper-body injury that cost him six contests, Smith snapped a seven-game point drought and an 11-game goal drought that extended back to Dec. 18. The veteran winger is skating on the Penguins' second line with Evgeni Malkin and seeing shifts on the second power-play unit, but so far his first campaign in Pittsburgh has been a disappointment with just 21 points in 42 games.

Ready to rock Smith (upper body) will return to the lineup Tuesday against Winnipeg.

Impact Smith is slated to play on the second line and top power-play unit versus the Jets following a six-game absence. He has registered eight goals, 20 points and 80 shots on net across 40 appearances this season.

Still out of action Coach Mike Sullivan said Friday that Smith (upper body) is still out of action, according to Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports.

Impact Smith has missed the last four games after getting hurt in the first period Jan. 11, versus the Canucks. Smith will likely be out until after the All-Star break as the Penguins play only Friday and Saturday, before getting 10 days off. Smith has eight goals, 12 assists and 80 shots on goal in 40 games this season.

Impact At this point, Smith could be out of action until after the All-Star break in early February, though the Penguins haven't established a specific timeline yet. The veteran winger has already been dropped to a third-line role in favor of Drew O'Connor and could now be replaced by either Jansen Harkins or Radim Zohorna on the third line. Given Sullivan's statement, Smith will likely find himself on injured reserve in the coming days.

JANUARY 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Injury clarified Smith is being evaluated for an upper-body injury sustained in Wednesday's game versus the Canucks.

Impact Smith's injury was previously undisclosed when he exited the contest. The Penguins should have an update on the winger's status prior to Saturday's road game versus the Hurricanes. Radim Zohorna could slot in on the third line if Smith can't play.
