Reilly Smith adds balance to Malkin's line, shows chemistry early

CRANBERRY, Pa. -- Reilly Smith said that it was a little hard for him to recover this summer.

"You can't push it as hard as you did when you were 25," he quipped.

He wasn't talking about recovering from the season or anything he did in his offseason training, of course. He was talking about recovering from the parade and celebrations that came with lifting the Stanley Cup with the Golden Knights.

"It was great to be able to celebrate with that team," Smith said Thursday during the Penguins' opening day of training camp.
