Impact Both of O'Reilly's goals this year have been game-winners, leading the Predators to their 2-0-1 start. In addition to the tallies, the veteran center has four shots on net, two hits and a plus-1 rating across three contests. He is poised to remain on Nashville's top line.

Tallies game-winning goal O'Reilly scored the game-winning goal in Thursday's 2-1 season-opening win against the Blue Jackets.
Impact O'Reilly came through in a big spot for the Predators, as he scored the game winner with less than three minutes remaining in the contest. This power-play goal continues his success with a man advantage, as he put up 28 power-play points in 2023-24 and 17 just a year ago. The 34-year-old began this season in a top-line role on the right wing alongside Filip Forsberg and Brady Martin. The primary-center 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.

Racks up three points in finale O'Reilly scored a power-play goal on two shots and added two assists in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Stars.
Impact O'Reilly struggled at times like many of his Nashville teammates this season. However, the veteran center put together a strong finish with five goals and six assists over his last 12 outings. The 34-year-old had a total of 21 goals, 32 helpers, 151 shots on net, 72 blocked shots and a minus-23 rating over 79 appearances this season. He's under contract for 2025-26 and will likely feature in a top-six role once again as the strongest two-way center on the Predators' roster.

Reaches 50-point mark O'Reilly scored a power-play goal and distributed an assist in Monday's 7-3 loss to Utah.
Impact O'Reilly tallied the opening goal of the contest Monday 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 goal of the season. O'Reilly's pair of points brings his season total up to 20 goals and 30 points, 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.

One of each in shootout win O'Reilly scored a goal on three shots, added a power-play assist and blocked two shots in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over Utah.
Impact O'Reilly earned his first multi-point effort since March 4 in Boston. The center has three goals and three assists over his last nine outings while continuing to play in a top-six role. For the season, he's at 19 goals, 48 points (15 on the power play), 145 shots on net, 71 blocked shots and a minus-23 rating across 76 appearances.

Pots 300th career goal Tuesday O'Reilly scored a goal on two shots Tuesday in a 7-6 overtime win over the Islanders.
Impact 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.

First goal in 12 games O'Reilly scored a goal Saturday in a 3-1 loss to Vegas.
Impact O'Reilly gave the Preds a 1-0 lead in the second period on a redirection of a shot on the power play. He also appeared to put his team up 2-1 later that period, but Vegas successfully challenged for goaltender interference. O'Reilly has 17 goals, 27 assists and 131 shots in 70 games this season. That's a huge drop from the 69 points (26 goals, 43 assists) and 180 shots he had last season with the Predators. In fact, the goal was his first in 12 games. With his minus-23 rating, O'Reilly is an anchor on many fantasy rosters. There are better options at center.

Supplies helper Tuesday O'Reilly logged an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Hurricanes.
Impact 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 over 13 appearances while adding eight points in March.
