O’Reilly Racks up two Points in Win
Ryan O’Reilly recorded a power-play assist and an empty-net goal in Saturday’s 5-2 win over the Blues. When the game was on the line at 2-1 for the Predators, Filip Forsberg scored a power-play marker in the third period on assists from Roman Josi and O’Reilly. Late in the contest and with Jordan Binnington pulled for an extra skater, O’Reilly potted an empty netter on assists from Forsberg and Gustav Nyquist. The 33-year-old center reached the 20-goal marker with that tally — the eighth time he has hit that milestone. He also added two shots and a plus-1 rating in 19:40 TOI.
Pietrangelo Collects Power-Play Assist
Alex Pietrangelo notched a power-play assist, five blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Monday’s 4-0 win over the Sharks. Pietrangelo has nine helpers over his last 12 contests, and he hasn’t gone more than one game without a point in that span. The 34-year-old could see a smaller role on the power play soon — Shea Theodore (upper body) could be back in the lineup as soon as Tuesday’s game versus the Predators. Pietrangelo has 26 points (eight on the power play) with 116 shots on net, 118 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 50 appearances in a top-four role this season.
