  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Smith scored an empty-net goal in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Red Wings. Smith picked up his third point in four games when he scored the last goal of this contest. The 33-year-old has moved to the second line recently amid a top-six shuffle by head coach Peter Laviolette. Smith has nine points, 16 shots on net, 10 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 13 appearances, a scoring pace good enough to be worth consideration in some fantasy formats.

• Rangers' Reilly Smith: Impressing on top line

  26D ago • By RotoWire

  Smith delivered two assists in a 4-1 win over Toronto on Saturday. Smith is playing on the top line alongside Chris Kreider and Mika Zibanejad. The 35-year-old Smith has become an early fan favorite due to his forechecking and backchecking. Smith has one goal and four points through five games this season. His offensive upside is limited because of his deployment on the second power-play unit, but a 50-plus point campaign is within reach. Smith had a career-high 60 points in 67 regular-season contests with Vegas in 2017-18.

• Rangers' Reilly Smith: First goal with new team

  30D ago • By RotoWire

  Smith scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and went plus-2 in Monday's 4-1 win over the Red Wings. Smith has collected one goal, one assist, seven shots on net and a plus-2 rating over his first three games with the Rangers. He is still on the first line, though that unit with Chris Kreider and Mika Zibanejad didn't find much success until Monday's contest. Smith's goal came straight off a faceoff win by Zibanejad. It may take some more time for chemistry to develop, but Smith projects to be a bench option at best for most fantasy formats since he rarely stands out in any one area.
