Reilly Smith Breaking Out of Winter Cold Streak
6 years agoVegas Golden Knights forward Reilly Smith recorded two assists on Saturday, giving him three points in the last two games and further distancing him from a six-game pointless streak, his longest of the season. Smith still has not scored a goal since December 30, the game before his cold streak started, but the two assists Saturday put him back on pace for 50 points this season. It seems that the magic that helped him turn in a 60 point season in 67 games last year cannot be found this season, and a large portion of his fantasy value has been lost with it. A career low 7.7 percent shooting percentage is not helping his case, and unless he can start to improve on that, he is better left on the waiver wire in most leagues.
