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.

O'Reilly scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
The Predators have suffered three straight 3-2 overtime losses, and O'Reilly has found the back of the net in two of those contests. The 33-year-old center seems far from matching the numbers he delivered in 2023-24, his first year with the Predators. He posted 26 goals and 69 points in that campaign, whereas he's up to five goals and only 14 points across 25 outings in 2024-25.

O'Reilly scored a goal in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly found the back of the net in the late stages of the first period to notch his fourth goal of the campaign, but most importantly, he snapped a 13-game drought without lightning the lamp with this tally. The 33-year-old is up to 13 points (four goals, nine assists) across 23 games this season, though it wouldn't be surprising if his numbers experience an uptick in the coming weeks now that the slump has finally ended.

O'Reilly provided a power-play assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly's goal drought is up to 10 games, but he snapped his stretch of five contests without a point. The center helped out on Steven Stamkos' power-play marker at 12:17 of the second period. While he's started to falter on offense, O'Reilly continues to see steady first-line usage. He's at 11 points, 30 shots on net, 19 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 19 appearances.

O'Reilly provided a power-play assist, blocked two shots and won 15 of 25 faceoffs in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly entered Saturday with a 51.6 percent win rate on faceoffs, but he raised it to 52.5 percent with a strong showing at the dot. While his faceoff work has been worse than usual this year, he's still offering quality offense. He has three goals, six assists, 19 shots on net, 10 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through 11 appearances, and three of his points have come on the power play. O'Reilly's two-way play makes him a virtual lock to stay on the top line throughout the campaign.
