Rangers' Reilly Smith: Impressing on top line
Reilly 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
Reilly 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 New York 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.

Rangers' Reilly Smith: Helper against former team
Reilly Smith notched an assist and two PIM in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Penguins.Smith didn't have to wait long for his homecoming against the Penguins, the team he played with in 2023-24. The winger contributed an assist on the first of Chris Kreider's two goals in Wednesday's season opener. Smith had a bit of a down year with 40 points (13 goals, 27 assists) over 76 contests with Pittsburgh, but he's received the first opportunity to see even-strength minutes alongside Kreider and Mika Zibanejad this season. That role, if Smith can keep it, could make him a bounce-back candidate -- he's reached the 50-point mark six times in his career.

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