O’Reilly produces an assist and two shots on goal
Ryan O’Reilly produced an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday’s 4-3 overtime loss to the Canucks in Game 4. O’Reilly got on the scoresheet for the first time since his Game 1 goal when he set up a Gustav Nyquist tally in the second period. The 33-year-old O’Reilly has added eight shots on net, three blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over four playoff contests. He remains in a top-line role, but the Predators will need more from him now that they’re facing elimination.
Pettersson notches an assist in Sunday’s 4-3 OT win
Elias Pettersson notched an assist in Sunday’s 4-3 overtime win over the Predators in Game 4. Pettersson helped out on Brock Boeser’s game-tying goal with eight seconds left in the third period. The 25-year-old Pettersson has a helper in each of the last two contests. He’s added six hits, five blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over four playoff outings — struggles that have seen him lose ice time to J.T. Miller in the top six. Pettersson remains in a position to put offense on the board, but he needs to start cashing in a bit more to be useful to fantasy managers in playoff competitions.
