O'Reilly scored an empty-net goal and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly has five goals over his last six games despite failing to record a shot in two of those contests. The center is up to 13 tallies, 26 points, 73 shots on net, 38 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating through 40 appearances. With a little momentum in a second-line role, O'Reilly represents a decent depth center for fantasy, though historically the bulk of his point production has come in the form of assists.

O'Reilly scored three times on six shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Two of the goals came on the power play in the second period, and he added an empty-netter in the third. O'Reilly continued a productive stretch with his best game of the year. He has seven goals and four assists over his last 11 outings. With the Predators at least finding more offense in recent weeks, O'Reilly's recent surge should be at least somewhat sustainable. He's up to 12 goals, 25 points, 68 shots on net, 34 blocked shots and a minus-14 rating through 37 appearances.

O'Reilly scored a goal on five shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly has played well since returning from a lower-body injury. He has four goals and four assists over his last eight outings, with all of that action coming in a second-line role and on the first power-play unit. Typically, moving down the lineup doesn't help players, but it's worked for O'Reilly after a sluggish start to the season on the top line. The 33-year-old center is at nine goals, 22 points, 62 shots on net, 32 blocked shots and a minus-16 rating over 35 appearances.

O'Reilly logged an assist, three shots on goal and a minus-3 rating in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly has a goal and three assists during his four-game point streak. The center is up to 21 points (seven on the power play), 57 shots on net, 31 blocked shots and a minus-17 rating through 33 appearances this season. He's played in a second-line role since returning from a lower-body injury, and given the success of the Predators' first line in recent weeks, it's unlikely O'Reilly will be moving up any time soon.

O'Reilly scored a power-play goal in Monday's 4-2 win over the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly found the back of the net just 30 seconds into the third period to give the Predators a three-goal lead with a wrister following an impressive set-up from Filip Forsberg and Jonathan Marchessault. This was O'Reilly's third straight game with at least one point, and he's been very productive since returning from a three-game absence due to a lower-body injury, putting up six points (three goals, three assists) in his last six appearances.

O'Reilly provided an assist in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly helped out on a Zachary L'Heureux goal in the first period. This was O'Reilly's second game in a row with a helper, and he has five points in as many contests since he returned from a lower-body injury. The center has been on the second line since he returned, as Steven Stamkos moved to the first line in O'Reilly's absence and has turned a corner for the Predators. O'Reilly is at seven goals, 12 assists, 51 shots on net, 28 blocked shots and a minus-13 rating through 31 appearances.

O'Reilly scored two goals and added an assist in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran center missed the prior three games with a lower-body injury, but O'Reilly made a big impact in his return, opening the scoring midway through the second period en route to a season high in points. It was his first multi-point performance since Oct. 22, and on the campaign, O'Reilly has seven goals and 17 points in 27 appearances.

O'Reilly (lower body) is set to return to the lineup Thursday versus the Stars, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly will center the second line in his return, while Steven Stamkos will stay on the top line. O'Reilly was initially labeled week-to-week, but he ended up missing just three games.

O'Reilly (lower body) is out on a week-to-week basis, the Predators announced Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly's absence figures to be a big one for Nashville, a team that can ill afford missing one of its top players. The 33-year-old has has 14 points through 26 outings this season. O'Reilly's absence likely leaves room for both Mark Jankowski and Michael McCarron to play in the near term.
