O'Reilly netted a power-play goal and had two assists at even strength in Tuesday's loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
The Sabres couldn't halt a red-hot Jets' squad, but O'Reilly found twine for the second consecutive game and was credited with six shots on goal. The 26-year-old has managed 11 goals and 29 points through 42 contests this season. The Sabres are one of the league's worst teams, but O'Reilly has been a consistent producer and is dangerous with the man advantage. The top-line center is certainly worth owning in most fantasy formats despite the team's struggles this season.

O'Reilly (personal) rejoined the Sabres for practice Wednesday, John Vogl of The Buffalo News reports.
EDGE Analysis
After missing Saturday's matchup with Carolina for the birth of his child, O'Reilly is back and ready to go for Wednesday's tilt against the Islanders. The center has seven points in his previous eight outings and has been one of the few bright spots on an otherwise dismal Sabres squad.

O'Reilly will miss Saturday's game against the Hurricanes due to "family reasons."
EDGE Analysis
Shortly ahead of Saturday's road game against the Hurricanes, it was announced that O'Reilly has flown back to Buffalo to be with family. His next chance to play will arrive next Wednesday against the Islanders in New York.

O'Reilly fashioned a goal and an assist in Friday's 4-2 home win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
This was the fifth multi-point outing for O'Reilly this season, and a welcomed relief for the man himself after he went minus-4 between the last two games against the Hurricanes and Bruins, respectively. Don't expect his defensive numbers to improve a whole lot given that the Sabres own the worst goal differential in the Eastern Conference at minus-40, but the Canadian pivot is prone to catching fire offensively on short notice and you won't want to miss out on the fun.

O' Reilly contributed a pair of assists in Saturday's win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
The Sabres have been struggling and O'Reilly had been held off the scoresheet in six straight games. His seven goals and 18 points through 28 contests are decent and he's still on track for another 20-goal, 50-60 point campaign. Despite the recent drought, the second-line center is fairly consistent and makes for a solid fantasy play in most formats.

O'Reilly scored a goal and registered two shots on net through 22:11 of ice time during Friday's 3-1 loss to Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
After recording just a single assist through the first five games of the campaign, O'Reilly has now collected seven goals and 13 points over his past 14 outings. He receives huge minutes and has recorded at least 55 points in four consecutive seasons, so the 26-year-old veteran projects to remain an excellent fantasy asset in the majority of settings. Just note that his minus-14 rating is a crippling mark, and with Buffalo playing the part of a basement dweller again this year, it could continue to slide in the wrong direction.

O'Reilly scored the Sabres' only goal Saturday in a 2-1 overtime loss to the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly has six points (three goals, three assists) in his last six games. He's heating up, but he's untouchable if you can't stomach his abysmal plus-minus (minus-13). There isn't a dose of Zantac big enough to keep that burn down.

O'Reilly lit the only lamp for Buffalo in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly's goal was the only bright spot of the outing as he now has five goals and 11 points in his last nine games. The slow start seems to be behind him, so park him on your roster if someone got impatient and dropped him in your fantasy pool.

O'Reilly dished out a trio of helpers in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly had an assist in each period as his team improved to 3-2-0 in its past five games after a 1-5-2 start. Even after finishing with a plus-2 rating in this rare meeting with a team even worse than his own, the 26-year-old center has a minus-7 mark for the season despite posting 11 points in 13 games.

O'Reilly stretched his point streak to four games and six points with a goal and assist in Saturday's overtime win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
His goal as the OT winner. O'Reilly is a cagey veteran who looks like he's firing up his game. Roll him and reap the rewards.
