Predators' Ryan O'Reilly: Big game in shootout win
Rotowire
O'Reilly scored two goals on four shots, added an assist, blocked two shots and went plus-3 in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over the Kings.
O'Reilly has three goals and three assists during his four-game point streak. His effort Saturday was the first multi-point performance of his season, and he's up to five tallies, three assists, 13 shots on net and nine blocked shots in nine appearances. O'Reilly has filled a top-line role as usual this year, so the 34-year-old should at least provide a safe floor on offense. He's typically more of a pass-first player, though he can still pot 20-plus goals in a good year.

Predators' Ryan O'Reilly: Tallies game-winning goal
Rotowire
O'Reilly scored the game-winning goal on the power play in Thursday's 2-1 season-opening win over the Blue Jackets.
O'Reilly came through in a big spot for the Predators, as he scored the game-winner early in the third period. That goal continues his success with the man advantage, as he put up 28 power-play points in 2023-24 and 17 last year. The 34-year-old began this season in a top-line role on the right wing alongside Filip Forsberg and Brady Martin. O'Reilly could draw starts this season anywhere in the Predators' top-six and will aim to maintain his track record of strong two-way play, which could lead to good category coverage in fantasy.

Predators' Ryan O'Reilly: Reaches 50-point mark
Rotowire
O'Reilly scored a power-play goal and distributed an assist in Monday's 7-3 loss to Utah.
O'Reilly tallied the opening goal of Monday's clash on a power play just over six minutes into the game. He then got involved again offensively with the primary helper on Luke Evangelista's 10th marker of the season. O'Reilly's pair of points brings his season total up to 20 goals and 30 assists, meaning he's reached the 50-point mark for the 12th time in his last 14 seasons. While his production with Nashville has taken a step back from last year, his ability to grind out 50 points amid the team's struggles speaks to O'Reilly's grit as a player. The 34-year-old center has value in all deeper-league fantasy formats, but he may struggle to stand out in standard leagues if the Predators get off to another slow start in the 2025-26 campaign.

Rotowire
O'Reilly scored a goal on two shots Tuesday in a 7-6 overtime win over the Islanders.
O'Reilly registered Nashville's first marker to tie the score at 1-1 early in the opening stanza. The goal was a milestone for the 34-year-old center, as it was the 300th of his career in his 1,148th NHL game. O'Reilly has generated just two goals and four points over his last 13 appearances, and he might fall shy of the 50-point mark after logging 26 goals and 43 assists over 82 regular-season outings in 2023-24. Over 75 appearances in 2024-25, the Ontario native has provided 18 goals, 46 points and 142 shots on net while averaging 19:00 of ice time.

Predators' Ryan O'Reilly: Supplies helper Tuesday
Rotowire
O'Reilly logged an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Hurricanes.
O'Reilly snapped a five-game point drought with a helper on Luke Evangelista's second goal of the game. The 34-year-old O'Reilly remains in a top-line role, but his offense has turned shaky again after a strong start to March. He's put together a decent year despite the Predators' struggles, earning 43 points, 129 shots on net and 63 blocked shots over 68 appearances, but his minus-20 rating remains a significant concern. On the positive side, he's only minus-1 while adding eight points over 13 appearances in March.

Predators' Ryan O'Reilly: Records helper in win
Rotowire
O'Reilly provided an assist, five shots on goal and three blocked shots in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Jets.
O'Reilly's goal drought is up to 10 games, but he was able to pick up his seventh assist in that span when he helped out on a Filip Forsberg tally. This was O'Reilly's first helper since the NHL resumed play after the 4 Nations Face-Off, and it came amid a lineup shuffle that reunited O'Reilly, Forsberg and Gustav Nyquist on the Predators' top line. For the season, O'Reilly has 35 points, 105 shots on net, 52 blocked shots and a minus-19 rating over 55 appearances. His scoring is down, but he remains a key two-way player in a top-six role.

Predators' Ryan O'Reilly: Pots goal in loss
Rotowire
O'Reilly scored a goal on five shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Wild.
O'Reilly has played well since returning from a lower-body injury. He has four goals and four assists over his last eight outings, with all of that action coming in a second-line role and on the first power-play unit. Typically, moving down the lineup doesn't help players, but it's worked for O'Reilly after a sluggish start to the season on the top line. The 33-year-old center is at nine goals, 22 points, 62 shots on net, 32 blocked shots and a minus-16 rating over 35 appearances.
