Pittsburgh Penguins winger Reilly Smith notched three points as the team defeated Columbus 5-3 on Tuesday. Smith had two assists, one on the power play, and wrapped up the scoring in the middle of the third frame. The 32-year-old celebrated his fifth multi-point outing of the campaign. It's been a bumpy ride for Smith with the Penguins, but he has started to pick up form again. A run of two goals and eight assists in 10 games has boosted Smith's points tally for the season to 29. He's had 11 goals and 18 assists in 54 appearances.
Pittsburgh Penguins winger Reilly Smith (upper body) will return from a six-game absence on Tuesday against Winnipeg. The veteran will make his 41st appearance of the campaign, looking to add to eight goals and 12 assists. Smith hasn't been consistent and enters Tuesday's action with a six-game scoreless streak. However, with him skating on the second line with Evgeni Malkin, there's always a chance Smith breaks out. He is also set for duty on the first power-play unit on Tuesday, which boosts his fantasy appeal even more.
Pittsburgh Penguins winger Reilly Smith is out "longer term" after suffering an upper-body injury in the first period of Thursday's overtime loss versus the Vancouver Canucks. The veteran skated just 3:08 in Thursday's game before departing for good. While Smith has a decent eight goals and 20 points across 40 games, he is in the midst of a miserable stretch that has seen him register just two goals over his last 27 games, including Thursday's abbreviated outing. His ice time has been down a little bit to 16:14 on the season but he has largely skated on the team's second line alongside star pivot Evgeni Malkin at even strength while seeing second-unit power play time on occasion. Drew O'Connor is the likeliest of candidates to take over the left-wing role on the Penguins' second line.
Pittsburgh Penguins winger Reilly Smith sustained an upper-body injury in Thursday's matchup against Vancouver. The veteran was forced to exit after taking only five shifts and logging 3:08 of ice time. Smith has notched eight goals and 20 points in 40 games this season, but he's gone cold lately, and Thursday marked his sixth consecutive outing without any points. Radim Zohorna will likely fill the open spot in the lineup in a bottom-six role if Smith won't be available for Saturday's meeting with the Hurricanes.
Reilly Smith Dealt From Golden Knights To Penguins
The Vegas Golden Knights have traded forward Reilly Smith to the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for a 2024 third-round draft pick. Smith carries a $5 million cap hit for the next two seasons as the 32-year-old is fresh off of a Stanley Cup championship with Vegas. The veteran winger collected the second-best point total of his career this past season, notching 26 goals and 56 points across 78 games while adding four goals and 14 points across 22 playoff contests. Smith should slide into the second-line left-wing spot with a Penguins club that failed to make the playoffs for the first time since the 2005-06 campaign.
Reilly Smith Hands Out Two Assists In Game 6 Victory
Vegas Golden Knights winger Reilly Smith played his part in Monday's Game 7 victory over Dallas with two assists. He had a power-play assist in the first period and an even-strength helper in the third as Vegas completely dominated the contest with a 6-0 victory. Smith had only one point in the first five games of the Western Conference Finals, so this should be a good confidence booster for him ahead of the next round. As a former Panther, Smith must be desperate to perform well against the team in the Stanley Cup Finals. He'll enter the series with two goals and nine assists to his name through 17 postseason games this year.
Reilly Smith Produces Three Points Against Seattle
Vegas Golden Knights winger Reilly Smith had a three-point outing in Tuesday's 4-1 victory over the Kraken, logging his 25th goal of the season and adding two assists.

Smith has enjoyed a great finish to the regular-season campaign, tallying 16 of his 55 points since the start of March. The 32-year-old has always been a good playoff performer as well, collecting 48 points in 59 postseason games with Vegas.
Vegas Golden Knights winger Reilly Smith (lower body) has been ruled out for the week, which means that he will miss at least three games. Smith, who is Vegas' fourth-highest scorer with 51 points in 72 games, was injured last Thursday against Calgary and already sat out one contest over the weekend. Smith's absence has given Michael Amadio a second-line role. The 26-year-old has shown glimpses of quality over the course of the season by tallying 12 goals and 10 assists in 59 appearances.
Vegas Golden Knights winger Reilly Smith made an early exit Thursday versus Calgary after suffering a lower-body injury. He didn't play in the third period, finishing with 11:39 of ice time. Vegas head coach Bruce Cassidy said after the game that it's unlikely Smith recovers in time for Saturday's game against the Oilers. It's a bad blow for the team and the player, as Smith entered Thursday's matchup riding a nine-game point streak. He's the second-best goal-scorer on the team with 24 markers and also among the leaders in overall scoring with 51 points. Paul Cotter, who was a healthy scratch Thursday, is set to replace Smith in the lineup.
Vegas Golden Knights winger Reilly Smith posted two goals in Thursday's 4-1 victory over the Blackhawks. He scored a short-handed goal early in the second period, which ended up being the game-winner, and Reilly also lit the lamp with the net empty at the end of the game. These were his only shots on target in the game, and Smith did his best to help out defensively as well, logging two blocks and one hit in 16:49 of ice time. That's now back-to-back multi-point games for the 31-year-old. After getting only 30 goals across the previous two seasons, Smith has significantly improved in front of the net in 2022-23, scoring 14 times in 32 outings.

Still, he may not be too productive for fantasy managers as he is only rostered on 41% of teams in Yahoo leagues.
Reilly Smith, Robin Lehner Placed On Injured Reserve
Vegas Golden Knights right wing Reilly Smith (undisclosed) and goaltender Robin Lehner (lower body) have been placed on Injured Reserve. The two have missed multiple games already and it now looks that it could be a while until we see either of them back in action. Laurent Brossoit will be the de facto starter until Lehner is healthy again. Smith has joined a lengthy list of injured forwards and all the absentees have resulted in William Carrier and Nicolas Roy moving up to the top six. The latter is having a decent campaign with 10 goals and 26 points and could be an interesting addition for fantasy teams in deep leagues.
Reilly Smith Collects Two Goals In Golden Knights Victory
Vegas Golden Knights winger Reilly Smith scored twice Tuesday in a 3-1 win over San Jose. Smith's goals help Vegas rebound from two straight losses. The 30-year-old's tallies came in the second and third periods. This season, Smith has 16 goals and 20 assists in 51 games. He has points in three of his last five contests played. In Yahoo fantasy, Smith could be an essential waiver-wire pickup as he could very well continue to put up points in the Golden Knight playoff push.

The right-winger had three shots on goal, three scoring chances, and returned the favor assisting on the Marchessault goal just 1:16 later.

Vegas Golden Knights right wing Reilly Smith continues his hot goal-scoring form with his ninth tally of the season in Saturday's 3-2 loss against Edmonton. He also led all skaters with seven shots in 17 minutes of action.

Vegas Golden Knights right wing Reilly Smith picked up a short-handed goal on Saturday against the Blue Jackets, tying things up at two in a 3-2 win. He was on the ice for almost 19 minutes and recorded four shots in total. Smith is enjoying a very fruitful month with five goals and four assists in 10 games. He has seven goals and six helpers in 18 games for the whole season. Smith's contributions have been huge for an injury-hit Vegas team during a tough stretch, however, the injuries are slowly starting to clear and it will be interesting to see if the 30-year-old manages to maintain his good form when everyone is back.
Reilly Smith Stays Hot With Sixth Goal Of The Season

The 30-year-old potted the Golden Knights' final goal of the game early in the third period. He now boasts 12 points for the campaign, with eight of them coming in his last eight outings. Smith has played a big part for Vegas during an awful injury crisis.

Vegas Golden Knights right wing Reilly Smith led the team with six shots and four scoring chances on Sunday. The problem was the execution. One of his shots has to go in at some point. It has been rough. The whole top line for the Golden Knights combined for 14 of the 42 shots Vegas fired on Ilya Sorokin on Sunday night. Little has gone right, and the consistency just has not been there. Vegas will look good for one night and then revert back to their old ways.
Vegas Golden Knights forward Reilly Smith recorded a hat trick to help lead the way as his team defeated the visiting St. Louis Blues on Saturday. The 30-year-old, who is now riding a five-game point streak, also registered a game-high seven shots on goal, one power-play point and a plus-one rating in 17:07 of ice time in the contest. After collecting just four points in 12 games in April, Smith has gotten hot when it matters most for fantasy owners in the month of May. However, with just 23 points (14 goals, nine assists) in 51 games this season, the Toronto native's fantasy stock has plummeted and he's just 27% owned in Yahoo! leagues at this point.
Vegas Golden Knights right wing Reilly Smith (undisclosed) is close to returning to action and is listed as a game-time decision for Wednesday's meeting with Colorado. The 30-year-old hasn't played since a 5-2 win over Anaheim on April 18. Alex Tuch and Mattias Janmark have shared minutes in his usual spot on the second line, but both look set to get nailed on the third line now. Smith's line with Jonathan Marchessault and William Karlsson was been a feared trio ever since they got together in Vegas, but Smith has taken a step back in his production this year, posting only nine goals and 16 points in 44 outings. He has managed just five points in his last 20 appearances.
