The Bruins have acquired Mike Reilly from the Senators for a 2022 third-round draft pick.

Reilly is a solid bottom-4 defenseman that can provide some offensive punch, particularly on the power-play. With Charlie McAvoy and Matt Grzelcyk dealing with injuries, the Bruins were looking for some veteran insurance. The 27-year-old blueliner is still looking for his first goal of the season but has collected 19 assists in 40 games.

The Senators have acquired Mike Reilly from the Canadiens for Andrew Sturtz and a 2021 fifth-round pick.

The Senators blueline is extremely banged up, missing three veterans (Dylan DeMelo, Ron Hainsey and Nikita Zaitsev) so Reilly will likely get playing time over Christian Jaros or Andreas Englund. The 26-year-old has only appeared in 14 games this season, picking up four assists. His contract carries a $1.5M AAV cap-hit and expires at the end of 2021.

The Canadiens have signed Mike Reilly to a two-year contract worth $3.0M ($1.5M AAV).

Reilly had three goals and eight assists (11 points) in 57 games for Montreal last year. Reilly shuffled in and out of the Montreal lineup all season but ranked third among defensemen in PP TOI/gm (1:25) when he did play. He will likely fill the exact same role in 2020.

The Canadiens acquired Mike Reilly from the Wild for a 2019 5th round pick.

Reilly was a prospect with a lot of offensive potential when he reached the NHL, but it has not materialized. The 24-year-old has just 18 points (4G / 14A) in 84 career NHL games, but should get his best shot at playing time with a Montreal team that is out of the playoff picture.

Reilly will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday.

After playing in the last two games, Reilly will serve as a healthy scratch tonight with Gustav Olofsson re-entering the lineup. Reilly was a minus-2 in 13:14 TOI in Dallas on Saturday and that is likely a big reason for sending him back to the press box tonight.

The Wild have recalled Mike Reilly from Iowa (AHL).

Reilly picked up three assists in four games with the Wild before heading to Iowa, where he had a goal in his only game. The 24-year-old has a lot off offensive ability, but needs regular playing time to be a real fantasy asset.
