O'Reilly set up both Colorado goals in a 3-2 loss to the Flames on Monday.
O'Reilly now has points in four straight and 10 in his last nine contests. He's certainly rewarding owners who hung onto him despite some struggles earlier this season, and with 46 points with 10 games remaining, the 24-year-old should crack the 50-point plateau for the third time in his career.

O'Reilly found twine for the third game in a row -- a short-handed tally -- in Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Ducks.
This was O'Reilly's first shorty of the year and 13th goal overall. He's well off the mark of his 28-goal, 64-point campaign from last year (44 so far this season), but with eight points in his last eight contests, O'Reilly makes for a must start right now.

O'Reilly scored a goal on five shots, picked up an empty-net assist and went plus-2 Thursday in a 5-2 victory over Arizona.
March has been O'Reilly's best month so far, as he's operating at a point-per-game pace through seven contests -- a rate he hasn't come close to approaching in any other month of this season. It's a silver lining on what's otherwise been a horrendously disappointing campaign for a guy who looked like one of the budding stars of the league last year. The good news is that it'll let you buy low on him in next season's drafts.

O'Reilly extended his assist streak to four games with a helper in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Kings.
The assists have been coming in hot for O'Reilly since about mid-February, but a downturn in his goal scoring has muted some of that impact. He's found twine just 10 times this season, with none coming since Feb. 3.

O'Reilly recorded an assist, three shots, and skated to a plus-2 rating in a 3-1 win over Pittsburgh on Wednesday.
O'Reilly has been an assist machine of late, tallying eight assists in the last nine games, the most recent one coming off of Gabriel Landeskog's goal late in the third period to seal the win against Pittsburgh on Wednesday. O'Reilly's production continues into the the month of March and the Av's second line of O'Reilly, Landeskog, and Nathan MacKinnon appear to have found their groove of late, scoring 12 goals in the last 10 games.

O'Reilly assisted on two of Nathan MacKinnon's three goals in Sunday's win over the Lightning.
Skating on the top line with MacKinnon, O'Reilly has racked up five assists in his last five games, giving him 34 points (10 goals) in 60 games on the season. He's on pace for far less goals than he had last season, but if his linemate MacKinnon can build off his hat-trick performance, O'Reilly could benefit.

O'Reilly notched an assist in Monday's win over the Coyotes.O'Reilly has two assists in as many games, but it doesn't necessarily signal that a breakout is imminent for the 24-year-old. Despite suiting up in every game thus far, O'Reilly is still on track to fall short of 50 points for his first full season since 2010-11, his second year in the league.

O'Reilly scored a goal and assisted on the game-tying tally Tuesday in a shootout win over Dallas.
It's been a slow year for O'Reilly, but he's been picking things up recently, with six points in his last seven games. Tuesday was a particularly strong effort, and his second consecutive plus-2 outing.

O'Reilly nabbed a goal, two PIM and won 13 of 22 faceoffs in Wednesday's win over the Bruins.
O'Reilly supplied the tying tally with 1:45 remaining in the third period, finding the net on a backhanded shot amid a scramble in front of goalie Tuukka Rask. Like many of his fellow Avs, O'Reilly is well off the scoring pace he posted a year ago, but he's at least begun to make strides with his plus/minus rating. After sitting in the negative double digits for most of the season, O'Reilly has improved his mark to a palatable minus-6 over his 48 games.

O'Reilly picked up a pair of assists and went plus-2 in Thursday's win over the Senators.
O'Reilly has disappointed this year, as he's far off the scoring pace he's posted over the last three seasons, and he hasn't shown many meaningful signs of picking things up. Perhaps Tuesday's effort will get him going, but we've said that before. He's an intriguing buy-low candidate, but perhaps more in keeper leagues than yearly formats.
