O'Reilly scored a power-play goal on two shots and added two assists in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly struggled at times like many of his Nashville teammates this season. However, the veteran center put together a strong finish with five goals and six assists over his last 12 outings. The 34-year-old had a total of 21 goals, 32 helpers, 151 shots on net, 72 blocked shots and a minus-23 rating over 79 appearances this season. He's under contract for 2025-26 and will likely feature in a top-six role once again as the strongest two-way center on the Predators' roster.

O'Reilly scored a power-play goal and distributed an assist in Monday's 7-3 loss to Utah.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly tallied the opening goal of Monday's clash on a power play just over six minutes into the game. He then got involved again offensively with the primary helper on Luke Evangelista's 10th marker of the season. O'Reilly's pair of points brings his season total up to 20 goals and 30 assists, meaning he's reached the 50-point mark for the 12th time in his last 14 seasons. While his production with Nashville has taken a step back from last year, his ability to grind out 50 points amid the team's struggles speaks to O'Reilly's grit as a player. The 34-year-old center has value in all deeper-league fantasy formats, but he may struggle to stand out in standard leagues if the Predators get off to another slow start in the 2025-26 campaign.

O'Reilly scored a goal on three shots, added a power-play assist and blocked two shots in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over Utah.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly earned his first multi-point effort since March 4 in Boston. The center has three goals and three assists over his last nine outings while continuing to play in a top-six role. For the season, he's at 19 goals, 48 points (15 on the power play), 145 shots on net, 71 blocked shots and a minus-23 rating across 76 appearances.

O'Reilly scored a goal on two shots Tuesday in a 7-6 overtime win over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly registered Nashville's first marker to tie the score at 1-1 early in the opening stanza. The goal was a milestone for the 34-year-old center, as it was the 300th of his career in his 1,148th NHL game. O'Reilly has generated just two goals and four points over his last 13 appearances, and he might fall shy of the 50-point mark after logging 26 goals and 43 assists over 82 regular-season outings in 2023-24. Over 75 appearances in 2024-25, the Ontario native has provided 18 goals, 46 points and 142 shots on net while averaging 19:00 of ice time.

O'Reilly scored a goal Saturday in a 3-1 loss to Vegas.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly gave the Preds a 1-0 lead in the second period on a redirection of a shot on the power play. He also appeared to put his team up 2-1 later that period, but Vegas successfully challenged for goaltender interference. O'Reilly has 17 goals, 27 assists and 131 shots in 70 games this season. That's a significant drop from the 69 points (26 goals, 43 assists) and 180 shots he had last season with the Predators. His goal in Saturday's loss was his first in 12 games. With his minus-23 rating, O'Reilly is an anchor on many fantasy rosters. There are better options at center.

O'Reilly logged an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly snapped a five-game point drought with a helper on Luke Evangelista's second goal of the game. The 34-year-old O'Reilly remains in a top-line role, but his offense has turned shaky again after a strong start to March. He's put together a decent year despite the Predators' struggles, earning 43 points, 129 shots on net and 63 blocked shots over 68 appearances, but his minus-20 rating remains a significant concern. On the positive side, he's only minus-1 while adding eight points over 13 appearances in March.

O'Reilly logged a power-play assist in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly continues to have a strong March -- he has two goals and five assists over seven contests this month. The center helped out on a Jakub Vrana tally in the third period, which earned O'Reilly his first power-play point since Feb. 8 versus the Sabres. For the season, the 34-year-old O'Reilly has 42 points (13 on the power play), 119 shots on net, 58 blocked shots and a minus-19 rating over 62 appearances in a top-six role.

O'Reilly notched an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly capitalized on a turnover behind the net and fed Steven Stamkos for the second of his three goals in the contest. Over the last six games, O'Reilly has two goals and five helpers, getting on the scoresheet in all five contests in that span where the Predators weren't shut out. The center is up to 41 points, 119 shots on net, 58 blocked shots and a minus-18 rating over 60 appearances. With Stamkos surging and playing left wing on O'Reilly's line, the Predators' top center could be in for a strong finish to the campaign.

O'Reilly recorded an assist, three shots on goal and two blocked shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly continues to play well of late -- he has six points over his last five outings with multiple shots on net in each of those games. The 34-year-old center helped out on Brady Skjei's tally in the second period. O'Reilly is up to 40 points, 117 shots on net, 57 blocked shots and a minus-17 rating across 59 appearances. He's still got time to push for 50-plus points on the year, and he should have no trouble maintaining a top-six role down the stretch.

O'Reilly scored two goals and added an assist in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran center found the back of the net in the first and third periods, and he set up Steven Stamkos for a tally in the second. O'Reilly snapped a 12-game goal drought in the process, and the performance couldn't have hurt his potential value to a contender with the trade deadline looming. On the season, O'Reilly has produced 16 goals and 39 points in 58 appearances.
