Ryan O'Reilly News: Tallies game-winning goal

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.
