Leads the way with hat trick O'Reilly scored three times on six shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Flames.

Impact Two of the goals came on the power play in the second period, and he added an empty-netter in the third. O'Reilly continued a productive stretch with his best game of the year. He has seven goals and four assists over his last 11 outings. With the Predators at least finding more offense in recent weeks, O'Reilly's recent surge should be at least somewhat sustainable. He's up to 12 goals, 25 points, 68 shots on net, 34 blocked shots and a minus-14 rating through 37 appearances.

Ryan O'Reilly has hat trick, Predators beat the Flames 4-1 for 2nd victory in 2 nights

Ryan O’Reilly had his fifth NHL hat trick to help the Nashville Predators beat the Calgary Flames 4-1 on Saturday for their second victory in two nights

Pots goal in loss O'Reilly scored a goal on five shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Wild.

Impact 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.

Helps out on power play O'Reilly logged an assist, three shots on goal and a minus-3 rating in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Blues.

Impact O'Reilly has a goal and three assists during his four-game point streak. The center is up to 21 points (seven on the power play), 57 shots on net, 31 blocked shots and a minus-17 rating through 33 appearances this season. He's played in a second-line role since returning from a lower-body injury, and given the success of the Predators' first line in recent weeks, it's unlikely O'Reilly will be moving up any time soon.

Scores power-play goal O'Reilly scored a power-play goal in Monday's 4-2 win over the Hurricanes.

Impact O'Reilly found the back of the net just 30 seconds into the third period to give the Predators a three-goal lead with a wrister following an impressive set-up from Filip Forsberg and Jonathan Marchessault. This was O'Reilly's third straight game with at least one point, and he's been very productive since returning from a three-game absence due to a lower-body injury, putting up six points (three goals, three assists) in his last six appearances.

Finds helper in overtime win O'Reilly provided an assist in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Kings.

Impact O'Reilly helped out on a Zachary L'Heureux goal in the first period. This was O'Reilly's second game in a row with a helper, and he has five points in as many contests since he returned from a lower-body injury. The center has been on the second line since he returned, as Steven Stamkos moved to the first line in O'Reilly's absence and has turned a corner for the Predators. O'Reilly is at seven goals, 12 assists, 51 shots on net, 28 blocked shots and a minus-13 rating through 31 appearances.

Carries offense in return O'Reilly scored two goals and added an assist in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Stars.

Impact The veteran center missed the prior three games with a lower-body injury, but O'Reilly made a big impact in his return, opening the scoring midway through the second period en route to a season high in points. It was his first multi-point performance since Oct. 22, and on the campaign O'Reilly has seven goals and 17 points in 27 appearances.

DECEMBER 6, 2024 • Associated Press

Out on week-to-week basis O'Reilly (lower body) is out on a week-to-week basis, the Predators announced Thursday.

Impact O'Reilly's absence figures to be a big one for Nashville, a team that can ill afford missing one of its top players. The 33-year-old has has 14 points through 26 outings this season. O'Reilly's absence likely leaves room for both Mark Jankowski and Michael McCarron to play in the near term.

Scores power-play goal O'Reilly scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Wild.

Impact The Predators have suffered three straight 3-2 overtime losses, and O'Reilly has found the back of the net in two of those contests. The 33-year-old center seems far from matching the numbers he delivered in 2023-24, his first year with the Predators. He posted 26 goals and 69 points in that campaign, whereas he's up to five goals and only 14 points across 25 outings in 2024-25.

Scores goal in OT loss O'Reilly scored a goal in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Flyers.

Impact O'Reilly found the back of the net in the late stages of the first period to notch his fourth goal of the campaign, but most importantly, he snapped a 13-game drought without lightning the lamp with this tally. The 33-year-old is up to 13 points (four goals, nine assists) across 23 games this season, though it wouldn't be surprising if his numbers experience an uptick in the coming weeks now that the slump has finally ended.
