Smith has four helpers over 11 outings since rejoining the Golden Knights at the trade deadline. The 33-year-old winger remains in a middle-six role, so he won't be a leading player on offense.

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

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

Golden Knights' Reilly Smith: Headed back to Sin City
Rotowire
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.
Smith has struggled to produce at similar levels ever since leaving Vegas after the 2022-23 campaign. He managed 40 points over 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.

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

Rangers' Reilly Smith: Two-point effort in win
Rotowire
Smith had a goal and an assist Thursday in a 6-1 victory over the Flyers.
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 put 17 shots on net 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.
