Predators' Ryan O'Reilly: Out on week-to-week basis

The Predators announced Thursday that O'Reilly (lower body) is out on a week-to-week basis.

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.
