O'Reilly scored a goal and posted a plus-2 rating in Friday's 4-0 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly's line was flanked by Jaden Schwartz and Vladimir Tarasenko, and the group was buzzing as Schwartz found O'Reilly backdoor to put one past a defenseless Aaron Dell. O'Reilly has a point in nine straight games and 20 total -- eight on the power play -- this year. According to Lou Korac of NHL.com, O'Reilly is the first Blues player to have a nine-game point streak since Doug Weight did it in 2001, also in his first year in the blue and yellow.

EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly now has a point in six straight games with three goals and 11 points -- four on the power play -- in that span. The 27-year-old center is clearly having no problem adjusting to the Blues system with a team-high 15 points in 11 games.

EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly was involved in three of seven goals on the night as he extended his point streak to four games. O'Reilly's goal was his third of the season, while his two assists took him to 11 on the year, good enough for a top three total in the league. O'Reilly will look to continue his hot streak Thursday against Las Vegas.

O'Reilly scored a goal and added two assists -- one on the power play -- in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly opened scoring in the game by receiving a pass from David Perron in the slot and firing it backhand past Connor Hellebuyck. He now has points in each of the last three games and 10 points over eight contests this season. It's clear his adjustment to the new team is going smoothly.

O'Reilly scored a goal and an assist while registering a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 4-1 win over Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly has now tallied six helpers in seven games with St. Louis, but finally notched his first goal with his new club. He's already established himself as a key member of the Blues' offense and top power-play unit. The 6-foot-1 center should eclipse the 50-point mark for the sixth straight year.

O'Reilly tallied three assists -- including two on the power play -- with four penalty minutes and four shots on goal in Saturday's 5-4 loss to Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly is off to a strong start with his new squad, dishing out four helpers in his first two games with St. Louis. It's become clear in the first two games that he will be a vital member of the top power-play unit, totaling over 10 minutes of power-play ice time so far this season.

O'Reilly turned in one goal and five shots on net in Friday's 3-1 preseason win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Finally, O'Reilly and winger Vladimir Tarasenko struck chemistry by opening scoring 31 seconds into the second period. The pair are already exceptional talents, so jelling together was the last step. O'Reilly now has two points in four preseason games and will have a chance to add to that total in Sunday's preseason finale against the Capitals.

O'Reilly was dealt from the Sabres to the Blues for Vladamir Sobotka, Patrik Berglund, Tage Thompson, a first-round pick in 2019, and a second-round pick in 2021, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Blues suffered another disappointing early playoff exit last season, so they decided to pay a pretty hefty price to add a center to hopefully get them over the hump. O'Reilly is coming off his best, and healthiest, season with Buffalo, notching 24 goals on 230 shots and adding 37 assists. The 27-year-old is still in his prime, and he will be playing with better talent on the Blues than he had around him with the Sabres. O'Reilly will likely slot in as the second-line center behind Brayden Schenn, pushing the newly-acquired Tyler Bozak down a line in the process.

O'Reilly will be an alternate for Team Canada at the 2018 IIHF World Championship.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly is coming off his third 60-plus point campaign, although he recorded the worst plus/minus (minus-23) of his career. Considering no member of the Sabres who played in 10 or more games registered a positive rating, it's hard to put all the blame on defensive struggles on the Ontario native. With the additions of Casey Mittelstadt and (presumably) Rasmus Dahlin, Buffalo should be significantly improved in 2018-19 and O'Reilly will stand a good chance of challenging for another 60-point season.

O'Reilly scored one of his team's two goals in a 4-2 setback against Ottawa on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Consistency, thy name is O'Reilly. In the past five seasons in which he's played 70 games or more, he's finished with between 55 and 64 points, and barring two big games to end the year, he'll make it six, as he's currently on 58 points. He produces little to nothing outside of points, but his consistency at finding the scoresheet in three of four games ensures that his value remains intact.
