While the Pittsburgh Penguins get in a practice, Reilly Smith visits the White House with his former teammates.

Reilly Smith is one of the newest members of the Pittsburgh Penguins roster, but is coming off of a pretty successful season.

Before being traded to the Penguins, Smith was with the Vegas Golden Knights who captured their first Stanley Cup in franchise history this past postseason.

Smith was one of the first members of the Golden Knights organization out of the 2017 Expansion Draft, and was a key piece of the franchise through his six seasons there.

While his new teammates are riding a four-game winning streak and practicing back in Pittsburgh, Smith was absent from the skate, but for good reason.

Smith is in Washington D.C. with his former Golden Knights teammates, fulfilling a tradition for American championship teams.

The Golden Knights are visiting the White House and President Joe Biden; that’s a pretty fair reason to be excused from practice.

In 399 career games with the Golden Knights, Smith scored 124 goals and 162 assists for a total of 286 points.

Smith is one of the ‘Original Misfits’ of the Golden Knights and will surely be remembered as one of the best early members of that team.
