What It Means:

O'Reilly has missed roughly a month because of the injury. The plan is to ease him back into the lineup and limit his ice time on the penalty kill. Daniel Catenacci will be a healthy scratch as a result of O'Reilly's return.

O'Reilly has 49 points (17 goals, 32 assists) in 59 games played this season, although he's been poor at driving possession. His Corsi For Percentage is 48.3, and his Relative Corsi For at Even Strength is 1.5. We project O'Reilly to tally another nine points (three goals, six assists) over the remaining course of the season.
