O'Reilly (broken foot) is still using crutches, Jim Thomas of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly suffered the injury Dec. 31 when he blocked a Calen Addison shot. He still has another four weeks before he will be re-evaluated. O'Reilly has only 10 goals and 16 points with a horrid minus-28 rating in 37 games this season. If the Blues fall out of the playoff picture by the time O'Reilly regains health, they could look to trade the veteran center, who's in the final season of a seven-year contract.

O'Reilly will be re-evaluated in six weeks after suffering a broken foot Saturday against Minnesota. He was placed on injured reserve Monday.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly managed to finish Saturday's game after blocking a shot from Wild defender Calen Addison. Unfortunately, he will be sidelined for multiple weeks now. O'Reilly has struggled offensively this year with 10 goals and 16 points through 37 games. He has been the subject of trade rumors. His absence may shift Brayden Schenn to center. It could also open a spot for Ivan Barbashev or recent call-up Jake Neighbours to play in the top-six forward group.

O'Reilly scored a goal on five shots in the Blues' 5-4 loss in overtime to the Maple Leafs on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly hit the scoresheet for the first time in seven games, snapping a shot past Ilya Samsonov to cut the Maple Leafs' lead to 3-2. The Blues' captain has struggled all season, posting a minus-26 rating along with 10 goals and 16 points in 35 games. An unrestricted free agent after this season, O'Reilly may be a candidate to be moved if the Blues fall out of the playoff race.

O'Reilly produced an assist, four shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly set up a Josh Leivo goal in the third period. With four goals and two helpers in his seven contests, O'Reilly is finally starting to find his way on offense. The center's season numbers still look rather lackluster -- he's at 14 points, 58 shots and a minus-19 rating in 27 appearances -- that's barely a 40-point pace for a player who hasn't had less than 54 points in any season since 2012-13.

O'Reilly scored a goal and recorded a plus-2 rating during Tuesday's 7-4 victory over the host Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly needed a good game. The 31-year-old center was coming off consecutive contests where he posted minus-3 ratings. During his previous seven outings, O'Reilly was a minus-10. O'Reilly turned things around Tuesday, scoring off his rebound while falling to the ice. O'Reilly registered three shots during 19:36 of ice time, including 1:47 on the power play.

O'Reilly found the back of the net in Thursday's 5-4 shootout win against Washington.
EDGE Analysis
O'Reilly extended his point streak to four games. He's up to five goals and eight points in 16 contests this season. His 2022-23 scoring pace is still well below what it's been in recent years. However, the worst might be behind him after he was held to one goal and no assists in his first 10 games of the campaign.

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.
