Reilly Smith (born April 1, 1991) is a Canadian professional ice hockey right winger for the New York Rangers of the National Hockey League (NHL).
Growing up in Toronto, Smith played junior hockey with St. Michael's College School before playing three seasons of NCAA Division I collegiate hockey with the Miami University's RedHawks in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA). During his time in college, Smith was drafted in the third round, 69th overall, by the Dallas Stars in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft. Upon joining the Stars in 2012, he played one full season with the team before being included in a blockbuster trade between Dallas and the Boston Bruins, which sent him, Loui Eriksson, Joe Morrow and Matt Fraser to Boston in exchange for Tyler Seguin, Rich Peverley and Ryan Button. After a short time in Boston, Smith joined the Florida Panthers for two seasons before landing with the Vegas Golden Knights. While with the Knights, he won the Stanley Cup in 2023, scoring the Cup-clinching goal in Game 5.
Smith was born into an athletic family; he is the younger brother of current Dallas Stars defenceman Brendan Smith and professional lacrosse player Rory Smith.
