O'Reilly scored a short-handed goal and was credited with an assist during Wednesday's 5-2 victory over the host Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly, who opened the season with one goal in 10 outings, put in extra puck-control work during recent team practices. The diligence is starting to pay off for the 31-year-old center. The team captain has shown more confidence as the second-line center, collecting a helper in three-straight outings. In 43 career games against the Blackhawks, O'Reilly has 36 points, including 14 goals.

O'Reilly posted an assist and three shots on goal in Monday's 3-2 win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly set up Brandon Saad's go-ahead goal with 1:01 left in the second period, and the Blues didn't look back. After an ugly start to the year, O'Reilly has two goals and two helpers in his last four games, signaling his offense may be back. The center has just five points with 32 shots on net, 11 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating in 14 contests overall, but he's talented enough to turn things around after a slow start.

O'Reilly scored a goal, dished an assist and blocked four shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly's endured a brutal start to the year, but he showed some signs of life Saturday. He helped out on a Brandon Saad goal in the first period, and his third-period tally was the game-winner. O'Reilly is up to four points (three goals, one assist) through 13 games, with three of those points coming in his last three outings. He's added 20 shots on net, 10 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating, but he may be on the verge of turning things around.

O'Reilly scored his second goal this season during a 5-1 loss to the Flyers on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly scored his first goal in six outings Tuesday, but his play highlights the Blues' recent offensive woes. The team captain has two goals, zero assists and a minus-12 rating in 11 appearances. The Blues, who have been outscored 30-14 during five-on-five situations, have dropped eight-straight games. O'Reilly, who produced a team-high five shots Tuesday, ended Felix Sandstrom's shutout bid on a third-period shot from the slot.

O'Reilly scored a game-tying goal, but the Oilers eventually pulled away with a 3-1 decision Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly, who has been held pointless during the Blues' opening four encounters, secured his first point since closing out the 2021-22 season with back-to-back two-goal, one-assist efforts. O'Reilly's second-period, power-play goal with 4.4 seconds remaining in the middle frame Wednesday snapped goalie Stuart Skinner's shutout bid. Fighting for a rebound chance off Justin Faulk's deflected shot attempt, O'Reilly batted the puck out of midair to connect on his first goal this season. The 31-year-old team captain registered five shots against the Oilers.

O'Reilly recorded five shots in Monday's 4-0 defeat to Winnipeg.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly has yet to register a point this season but started showing some signs of finding his stride with Monday's performance. If the 31-year-old center can continue to put pucks on net, he should eventually bend the twine. Despite the slow start, O'Reilly should still be capable of reaching the 50-point threshold for the 10th straight year.

O'Reilly scored a goal on three shots, dished an assist and added two hits in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche in Game 3.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly won a faceoff back to Colton Parayko for the opening tally in the first period, then scored one of his own in the second. This gave O'Reilly a seven-game point streak, and he's gotten on the scoresheet in eight of nine playoff contests. The center has seven goals, five helpers, 32 shots on net and a plus-3 rating in the postseason, and he's set the tone from the top of the lineup.

O'Reilly supplied an assist, fired four shots on goal, went plus-2, logged two hits and blocked two shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 2.
EDGE Analysis
With the helper on Jordan Kyrou's tally, O'Reilly has a six-game point streak. He had a goal in each of the first five contests, and he's added three helpers during the surge. Through eight playoff outings, the star center has 10 points, 29 shots and a plus-3 rating in a first-line role.

O'Reilly scored a goal on five shots, logged three hits and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Avalanche in Game 1.
EDGE Analysis
A poor clearance from Cale Makar ended up on Brayden Schenn's stick, and he set up O'Reilly for the opening goal 6:25 into the game. A pedestrian regular season is in the rear-view mirror for O'Reilly -- he's up to six goals and three assists in seven playoff outings, including tallies in five straight games. The center will likely see a lot of defensive assignments against the Nathan MacKinnon line in this second-round series, so O'Reilly should have his hands full.

O'Reilly scored a power-play goal on two shots in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Wild in Game 6.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly had a power-play goal in each of the last four games as the Blues went from down 2-1 in the series to winning it 4-2. The center has five tallies and three helpers through six playoff contests this year. He's added 20 shots on net and a plus-1 rating while rediscovering his scoring form after a relatively quiet regular season saw him post 58 points in 78 outings.
