O'Reilly scored an empty-net goal on two shots in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche. He also won 21 of 28 faceoffs.
After the Avalanche's tying goal was disallowed for a kicking motion, O'Reilly put away an empty-netter to seal the Blues' win. The 30-year-old center was in fine form last season with 24 goals and 30 helpers in 56 outings, and he should have a good chance of getting back over the 60-point mark with a full season on the schedule. O'Reilly's strong two-way play makes him a reliable No. 1 center, especially in fantasy formats that reward his work at the dot -- he enters the year with a career 55.7 winning percentage on faceoffs.
