Knights in the Morning: Reilly Smith talks return to Vegas
"I always had a soft spot in my heart for Vegas. It’s pretty rare you get traded back to the team you were at previous.
"Sometimes the stars align and you’re able to come back and you’re able to see a lot of familiar faces, not just on the team but the staff.
"There’s so many people in this organization that have become family friends to myself, my parents, and it’s just a very easy transition to come back to.”
The Vegas Golden Knights host the Colorado Avalanche on Friday at 1 p.m.
