O'Reilly scored two goals in Monday's 4-2 win over Boston in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
EDGE Analysis
After opening the scoring 43 seconds into the first period, O'Reilly waited until midway through the third period to score his second of the night, the eventual game-winner. He now has five goals to go along with 13 assists for a total of 18 points in 23 playoff games in 2018-19.

O'Reilly managed an assist in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Bruins in Game 3.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly now has two assists in three contests in the Stanley Cup Finals, but also carries a minus-2 rating. The center had an unusually poor evening, winning only 8 of his 23 faceoffs, far below his 56.9 percent win rate on draws in the regular season. O'Reilly will need to be a more effective table-setter if the Blues are to overturn a 2-1 series deficit.

O'Reilly notched an assist on Carl Gunnarsson's game-winning, overtime goal against the Bruins on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
While O'Reilly may be bogged down in a seven-game goal drought, he has tallied five helpers over that stretch. One concern for fantasy owners should be the center's shot rate, which currently sits at 0.5 per game over his last four contests. The Ontario native's inability to generate opportunities for himself certainly isn't from a lack of minutes, as he is averaging 21:19 of ice time in the postseason, including 3:05 with the man advantage.

O'Reilly provided three assists and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Sharks in Game 6.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly didn't tickle twine himself, but he assisted David Perron, Vladimir Tarasenko and Tyler Bozak on goals as the Blues took the Western Conference finals by a 4-2 margin. O'Reilly ended the series with a goal and four helpers in six games, giving the 28-year-old center three tallies and 11 assists in 19 playoff games this year.

O'Reilly posted an assist and two shots in Monday's 4-2 win over the Sharks in Game 2 of the Western Conference finals.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly has only been held off the scoresheet three times in the last 10 games, posting a goal and seven helpers in that span. He won't produce much physicality, but he has fired an average of two shots on goal per game in that span as well, and his usage on the second line and top power-play unit make him a safe bet for at least some offense.

O'Reilly scored a goal in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Sharks in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals.
EDGE Analysis

O'Reilly registered two assists, one on the power play, in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Stars in Game 4.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly has been a premier playmaker in the postseason, with two goals and six assists in 10 games. Three of his points have come with the man advantage. O'Reilly has fired 23 shots on goal, and while he won't often make a physical impact, the scoring has been plenty to satisfy fantasy owners.

O'Reilly finished with an assist Saturday in a 3-2 Game 6 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis

O'Reilly dished out a power-play assist in Tuesday's Game 4 loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly logged 21:51 of ice time, which stands as his lowest mark of the series but still the most out of all Blues' forwards. It was troubling, however, that he failed to even fire a shot on net after recording 11 shots over the first three games. This will need to turn around if Blues want to regain the series lead Thursday in Game 5.
