O'Reilly saw his breakout season derail last season, missing the rest of the year after 38 games. He moves from one defensive system to another, which he likely can thrive in. A 30-40 point output would not be shocking.
As expected, O'Reilly won't play today. In his first five games back, the Toronto native has one assist. Expect him to return to the lineup over the next few days.
O'Reilly missed Thursday's game with both Brian McGrattan and Niclas Bergfors staying in the lineup. Through his first five games, the center has no goals and as assist with a minus-2 rating. Expect him to jump around the lineup as coach Barry Trotz looks for the chemistry he had last season.
Stay tuned for a further update prior to tomorrow's game.
