The Avalanche have pretty much determined their top three lines for the 2013-14 season. Ryan O'Reilly will shift from center to left wing on a line with Matt Duchene and P.A. Parenteau, while Paul Stastny will center Gabriel Landeskog and Alex Tanguay. Just-drafted Nathan MacKinnon will play between Steve Downie and Jamie McGinn on the third unit.

Ryan O'Reilly sniped a goal for the Avs, but they fell 3-1 to the Wild on Saturday night. Though he only had six goals on the season, he also had 14 assists, finishing with he best point-per-game production of his young career. He could take a big step next season. Patrick Bordeleau and Gabriel Landeskog had the assists.

Avalanche center Ryan O'Reilly says he'll will be a better player next season. O'Reilly's play has been reasonably good as he has notched 17 points in 25 games since signing an offer sheet with the Calgary Flames that was subsequently matched by the Avs, but he is currently in the midst of a 12-game goal scoring drought. "I thought it felt good for the most part at the start, and then it kind of took a dip and now I can't seem to find the net right now," O'Reilly said. "Obviously, we've needed some goals and then I get a goal lapse. I had a job to step into and didn't do it. It's disappointing. I'm supposed to do the job, and I didn't do the job." Our feelings on O'Reilly haven't changed significantly from what they were before the year. He's a useful player in medium to deep leagues, but far from a fantasy superstar.

Ryan O'Reilly recorded an assist on Saturday. O'Reilly got off to a great start in his return to the Avalanche, but he has just two points in his last 10 games. Still, with 15 points in 23 contests in 2013, he's done well enough to suggest he might put up numbers similar to his 2011-12 career-high of 55 in 2013-14.

Ryan O'Reilly was held pointless in his sixth straight game Saturday night, a 4-0 loss to Phoenix where he posted a -2 rating. After sizzling on a point-per-game pace during his first 13 games in his abbreviated 2013, O'Reilly has fallen off the map with no points and a -4 rating since March 28.

Ryan O'Reilly had a goal and an assist against the Calgary Flames in a 4-3 loss Wednesday. O'Reilly signed an offer sheet with Calgary, but the Colorado Avalanche ultimately decided to match it. Since then O'Reilly has done surprising well despite going roughly 11 months between NHL games. O'Reilly has four goals and 13 points in 13 games and is on a four-game point streak.

Ryan O'Reilly was about the only Avs' player to challenge Devan Dubnyk on Tuesday, recording five shots on goal in Colorado's 4-0 loss to Edmonton. O'Reilly has been a welcome addition to Colorado's offense. He's produced two goals and two assists in his six games back from his contract holdout. Definitely consider picking him up if he's available in your league, as he should continue providing offense once he gets even more game action.

Ryan O'Reilly has helped out on the power play since his return five games ago. O'Reilly is playing the point on the first power play as the Avalanche are going with five forwards including Matt Duchene, Gabriel Landeskog, P.A. Parenteau and Paul Stastny. The quintet have been on the ice for all three goals with the man-advantage that Colorado has scored in that span with O'Reilly's shot from the point really helping. He leads the team in TOI on the pp since his return as he has averaged 2:43 minutes per game. He is worth picking up in all pools at this time.

Avalanche forward Ryan O'Reilly scored his first goal of the season in Friday's 6-2 win over the Blackhawks. It was easily the best game O'Reilly has played since returning to the Colorado lineup, as he also picked up an assist and registered nine shots on goal. His fantasy upside in rotisserie formats is still limited by his lack of penalty minutes, but with three points in four contests it's clear he intends to prove he can surpass the pace he played at during the 2011-12 season.

Ryan O'Reilly got his first point of the season on Wednesday. O'Reilly was held off the scoresheet in his first two contests. We don't anticipate him having too much fantasy value in what's left of the shortened season, but he's an interesting sleeper candidate for 2013-14.
