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.

O'Reilly logged an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly bounced back from a scoreless outing Friday by setting up Filip Forsberg on a second-period tally. The 33-year-old O'Reilly has been reliable offensively in a top-line role this year, earning two goals and five assists over eight contests. He's added 14 shots on net, eight blocked shots and a minus-3 rating, though he's been a little rough at the faceoff dot, losing more than 50 percent of his draws in five straight outings.

O'Reilly scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly broke the deadlock for the Predators in the final minutes of the first period with his first power-play goal of the campaign, which also extended his goal streak to four contests. The veteran center later helped seal the win with an assist in Gustav Nyquist's third-period goal. O'Reilly has been one of Nashville's best players amid the team's woeful start to the season and has cracked the scoresheet in all but one of his six appearances.

O'Reilly recorded an assist in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly has had some quiet individual success so far, earning a goal, two assists, eight shots on net and five blocked shots over four games. He's also taken a minus-4 rating, as the Predators' defensive struggles have found him as well. The 33-year-old remains in a top-line role and on the first power-play unit, where he should be a consistent playmaker to complement Filip Forsberg's finishing skill.

O'Reilly scored a goal in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly tallied with the extra attacker on the ice at 18:25 of the third period, but the Predators' comeback attempt fell short. Last season, O'Reilly had 26 goals and 43 assists in 82 regular-season contests, leading to his highest point total (69) since 2018-19. The 33-year-old is more of a playmaker typically, and he'll have strong fantasy value in formats that focus on offense and those that count faceoff wins.

O'Reilly produced an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canucks in Game 4.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly got on the scoresheet for the first time since his Game 1 goal when he set up a Gustav Nyquist tally in the second period. The 33-year-old O'Reilly has added eight shots on net, three blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over four playoff contests. He remains in a top-line role, but the Predators will need more from him now that they're facing elimination.
