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.

O'Reilly provided an assist, five shots on goal and three blocked shots in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly's goal drought is up to 10 games, but he was able to pick up his seventh assist in that span when he helped out on a Filip Forsberg tally. This was O'Reilly's first helper since the NHL resumed play after the 4 Nations Face-Off, and it came amid a lineup shuffle that reunited O'Reilly, Forsberg and Gustav Nyquist on the Predators' top line. For the season, O'Reilly has 35 points, 105 shots on net, 52 blocked shots and a minus-19 rating over 55 appearances. His scoring is down, but he remains a key two-way player in a top-six role.

O'Reilly racked up four assists and two shots on goal in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
One of O'Reilly's helpers came on the power play. He set up two goals each for Filip Forsberg and Brady Skjei -- all four of the assists were primaries for O'Reilly in one of the best games of his career. This was also his first multi-point effort since his hat trick in Calgary on Jan. 4. The center is up to 34 points (14 goals, 20 assists), 96 shots on net, 46 blocked shots and a minus-18 rating over 51 appearances this season.

O'Reilly logged an assist and four shots on goal in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly's 800th career point came against one of his former teams -- he played for Buffalo from 2015-16 to 2017-18. The center achieved his latest milestone in his 1,120th game, and he sits four goals away from 300 in his career. It's been a bit of a down year for the 33-year-old in 2024-25 -- he has 14 goals, 15 assists, 91 shots on net, 44 blocked shots and a minus-13 rating over 47 appearances, but he was alright in January with seven points over 12 contests.

O'Reilly scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly has five goals and one assist over 10 outings in January. The center tied the game at 2-2 in the second period, but the Ducks ran away with the win by scoring the next three goals. O'Reilly is up to 14 goals, 28 points, 85 shots on net, 44 blocked shots and a minus-13 rating over 45 appearances this season. He's been steady enough to maintain a second-line role lately.
