O'Reilly scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Avalanche.

O'Reilly scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly opened the scoring just 2:27 into the game, creating an offensive-zone turnover before finishing off a slick feed from Vladimir Tarasenko in front. It was O'Reilly's second goal in as many games, and his 12th of the season, tying him for the team lead with David Perron and Brayden Schenn. The 29-year-old O'Reilly is enjoying yet another fine campaign, producing at a nearly point per game clip with 33 in 35 contests. He also owns a plus-13 rating.

O'Reilly scored a goal in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly got the Blues within striking distance with his third-period tally, but they couldn't bury an equalizer. The 30-year-old center is up to 11 tallies, 32 points, 74 shots on goal, a plus-12 rating and 16 PIM through 34 outings. The Blues have only scored twice in their last three games combined, but O'Reilly will likely be part of the solution once their offense gets back on track.

O'Reilly and the Blues won't play the Kings on Monday after the game was postponed due to travel concerns for the Kings, NHL Public Relations reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Kings played in Colorado on Sunday night, and the Denver area received several feet of snow over the weekend. In turn, the Kings are unable to travel back to Los Angeles on short notice to play the Blues. This game will be rescheduled. For now, the Blues are still scheduled to face the Kings on Wednesday.

O'Reilly had two assists and two PIM in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to San Jose. He also won 16 of 27 faceoffs (59.3 percent).
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly set up Niko Mikkola's first NHL goal early in the first period, then added a second assist on Brayden Schenn's power-play tally late in the middle frame. O'Reilly has collected at least one point in seven of his last nine games, amassing three goals and nine assists in that time. With 26 points in 26 contests, the 29-year-old is producing at a point-per game clip in 2020-21, something the 12-year veteran has never done over a full season.

O'Reilly scored a power-play goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly gave the Blues a 3-0 lead at 11:05 of the first period with his eighth goal of the season. That was it for the offense Saturday. The Ontario native is up to 24 points, 62 shots on goal and five power-play points in 25 contests. With Vladimir Tarasenko back from a shoulder injury, O'Reilly could ultimately have an elite scorer on his right side going forward. The Blues' forward group is deep, so O'Reilly should have plenty of teammates to set up in all situations.
