Michael J. Reilly Jr. (born July 13, 1993) is an American professional ice hockey defenseman for the Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was originally selected by the Columbus Blue Jackets in the 4th round (98th overall) of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.
Playing career
Born in Chicago, Reilly grew up in Chanhassen, Minnesota. After attending and playing for the Academy of Holy Angels and Shattuck-St Mary's, Reilly was selected by the Columbus Blue Jackets in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft. Opting not to sign with the Blue Jackets, he went on to play for the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers. Reilly was named Big Ten Conference Defensive Player of the Year and First Team All-American following both his sophomore and junior seasons.[1]
Columbus' draft rights to Reilly expired on June 15, 2015, allowing for him to become an unrestricted free agent.[2] On July 1, 2015, Reilly was officially signed to a two-year entry level contract with the Minnesota Wild worth $1.85 million.[1][3]
During his first professional season in 2015–16, Reilly was initially assigned to AHL affiliate, the Iowa Wild. On January 9, 2016 Reilly made his NHL debut with the Minnesota Wild in a 2-1 victory over the Dallas Stars. He scored his first NHL goal on February 13, 2016, in a 4-2 loss to the Boston Bruins with 35 seconds left in the game.[4]
During the 2017–18 season, on February 26, 2018, Reilly was traded to the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for a fifth-round pick in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft.[5]
Personal life
His father, Michael J. Reilly, was drafted by the Montreal Canadiens in the eighth round of the 1977 NHL Amateur Draft, after a successful freshman campaign at Colorado College, but never played in the National Hockey League.[6]
