The Vegas Golden Knights have acquired forward Reilly Smith from the New York Rangers on Thursday in exchange for prospect Brendan Brisson and a third-round draft pick.

Smith played for Vegas previously and was part of their Stanley Cup-winning team in 2023.

On a star-laden New York team that struggled for offense at times, Smith posted decent numbers with 10 goals and 29 points.

Smith, who had 26 goals with the Golden Knights in 2022-23, is skating out the final weeks of a three-year deal he signed with Vegas that carries a hefty $5 million salary cap hit.
