O'Reilly supplied a hat trick and an assist in Toronto's 6-3 victory over Buffalo on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

O'Reilly provided Toronto with an early edge by scoring twice in the first 4:28 minutes of the contest. His third marker was scored on an empty net. He's up to 15 goals and 24 points in 43 games in 2022-23. O'Reilly has three goals and five points over three contests since being acquired by Toronto from St. Louis on Friday.

O'Reilly picked up an assist in a 5-1 win over the Canadiens on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

He skated 16:12 in his Toronto debut, fired one shot and delivered two hits. He won 12-of-14 face-offs. O'Reilly started the game as the second-line center with John Tavares moving to left wing. But over time, he could see time on any of the top three lines and at either center and left wing.

O'Reilly is expected to make his Maple Leafs debut Saturday versus Montreal, Mike Zeisberger of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

O'Reilly was dealt late Friday night from the Blues and will likely slide in as the third-line center behind Auston Matthews and John Tavares. O'Reilly has struggled this season with only 12 goals, 19 points and a minus-24 rating in 40 games, but he has two goals and an assist with a plus-four rating in three games since returning from a fractured foot.

St. Louis traded O'Reilly and Noel Acciari to Toronto on Friday in exchange for Mikhail Abramov, Adam Gaudette and three draft picks, including a 2023 first.

EDGE Analysis

O'Reilly is in the midst of one of the worst offensive campaigns in his NHL career. The 32-year-old has just 12 goals and 19 points with a brutal minus-24 rating through 40 games, though he's scored a point in each of his last three appearances after a 14-game absence. Toronto clearly still believes in his two-way ability and veteran presence as a former Conn Smythe winner. O'Reilly will likely fill the third-line center role behind Auston Matthews and John Tavares before hitting unrestricted free agency this offseason.

O'Reilly tallied a goal in a 6-2 victory over Florida on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

O'Reilly scored at 9:28 of the third period to put St. Louis up 4-1. It was his 12th goal and 18th point in 39 games in 2022-23. The 32-year-old has two goals over two games since returning from a foot injury.

O'Reilly scored the game-winning goal in Saturday's 6-5 overtime win over the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

O'Reilly didn't play in January due to a broken foot. The 32-year-old had a fairly quiet outing in his return until he sealed the win at 1:02 of overtime. The center saw 17:25 of ice time Saturday, so it's fair to say the Blues took it easy on him after his long absence. He's at 11 goals, six assists, a minus-27 rating and 76 shots on net through 38 contests this season. He's in the last year of his contract, and the Blues have already signaled themselves as sellers at the trade deadline, so it's no guarantee O'Reilly finishes the season with St. Louis.

O'Reilly (foot) will be back in the lineup against Arizona on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

O'Reilly has been out of action since Dec. 31 with a fractured foot. The 32-year-old center has 10 goals and 26 points in 37 games, but has a terrible minus-28 rating this season.

O'Reilly (foot) might return Saturday versus Arizona, Blues coach Craig Berube told Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

O'Reilly needs to get cleared first though, especially because they want to be sure that his foot is completely ready in an effort to prevent any potential re-injury. The 32-year-old has 10 goals and 16 points in 37 contests this season. He last played Dec. 31.

O'Reilly (foot) is practicing in full equipment Thursday, according to Lou Korac of NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

O'Reilly suffered a broken foot Dec. 31 and has yet to play in the calendar year, a span of 14 games. O'Reilly has had a tough go of it this season, with 10 goals and 16 points, along with a horrendous minus-28 rating this season. He is in the final year of a seven-year, $52.5 million deal and could get dealt before the March 5 trade deadline, if the Blues and O'Reilly cannot come to an agreement on a new contract.

O'Reilly (foot) has resumed skating, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

There's still no timeline for O'Reilly, who's missed the last 14 games with a fractured foot, to return, but the fact that he's resumed skating is obviously a step in the right direction for his recovery. Check back for another update on the 32-year-old pivot, who's collected 10 goals and 16 points while posting an ugly minus-28 rating through 37 contests this season, once he's cleared to return to practice with his teammates.
