Reilly Smith will suit up for the Golden Knights for the first time since he was traded after the 2023 Stanely Cup Final when Vegas hosts the Pittsburgh Penguins at 7 p.m. today. The Original Misfit — one of the players on the team's first-year roster — was traded back to Vegas by the New York Rangers for Brendan Brisson and a 2025 third-round draft pick. Smith played for the Golden Knights from 2017 to 2023, recording 319 points in 487 games. He is the first Golden Knights player to return to the organization after leaving. Smith skated on the fourth line with center Nicolas Roy and forward Cole Schwindt during Friday's practice. He also took reps with the Golden Knights' second power-play unit.
