Ryan O'Reilly - NHL News & Rumors

Pots goal Saturday O'Reilly scored a goal on four shots and went plus-3 in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Blues.

Impact O'Reilly is rolling -- he's scored in three straight games. The 35-year-old center has also racked up the shots early in the year, potting four goals on 18 shots through eight contests. He's added three assists, eight blocked shots, four PIM and a minus-2 rating. O'Reilly is firmly in a top-six role with power-play time, and he looks to still have enough in the tank to be effective in 2026-27.

Scores in shootout defeat O'Reilly scored a goal on four shots in Thursday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Sharks.

Impact O'Reilly continued to provide offensive production for Nashville, finding the back of the net while recording four shots -- he's taken multiple shots in three of his last four games while notching four points (three goals, one assist) in that span. The 35-year-old winger should remain a prominent offensive threat for the Predators while being a regular fixture in the Preds' first line both in even-strength and power-play scenarios.

Two-point effort in defeat O'Reilly scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact O'Reilly opened the scoring just 3:55 into the first period, then assisted on Adam Edstrom's shorthanded goal in the second. The veteran center also finished with a plus-1 rating in an otherwise disappointing night for Nashville. His substantial playing time and involvement in multiple situations should help him stay relevant in fantasy, though. He has points in four of his last five appearances, tallying two goals and three assists over that stretch.

Deposits GWG Thursday O'Reilly tallied the game-winning goal, placed two shots on net, posted two blocked shots and served two PIM in Thursday's 5-2 win over Montreal.

Impact O'Reilly played the hero in Thursday's contest, as he gave Nashville a 3-2 lead with his power-play goal with just over three minutes remaining in the final period. The 35-year-old center is off to a solid start in 2026-27, where he has a goal, three points, eight shots on net, three hits and four blocked shots across four appearances. While his 74-point outburst in 2025-26 was his first season north of 70 points since the 2018-19 campaign, his early involvement with the Predators' offense in the new season shows that he still has plenty to give. The two-way center is a solid fantasy option in category-based leagues, and even in his 18th NHL season, a projection of 60-plus points is a fair assumption to make for O'Reilly in the 2026-27 campaign.

The veteran center had a hand in goals by Filip Forsberg (on the power play) and Brady Skjei (shorthanded) in this contest. O'Reilly is up to 72 points, including 19 on the power play and three while shorthanded, through 77 appearances this season.

One of each Saturday O'Reilly scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.

Impact O'Reilly's tally at 8:28 of the third period stood as the game-winner. The center also set up Tyson Jost's empty-netter to help secure the win. O'Reilly had gone six contests without a goal prior to Saturday, though he still had three assists in that span. The veteran center is at 25 tallies, 69 points, 144 shots on net, 59 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 75 appearances. Hes a point away from reaching 70 for the first time since the 2018-19 campaign with the Blues, when he had a career-best 77 points in 82 regular-season outings.
