Ryan O'Reilly Establishes New Career High
6 years agoSt. Louis Blues center Ryan O'Reilly posted a goal and added an assist as his team took down the Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday by the score of 5-4. With the pair of points, the ten-year NHL veteran set a new career-high with 65 points, besting his 64-point season set back in 2013-2014 with Colorado. O'Reilly has been a great fit in his first season in St. Louis, jumping onto the team's first line and establishing great chemistry with Vladimir Tarasenko. The revered two-way center looks primed to potentially hit the 75-point mark for the very first time as the Blues still have 16 games remaining this season. Given his strong numbers across most categories (plus-22 rating, 19 power-play points, 184 shots), O'Reilly is looking to be one of the best draft bargains this season taken with the average 158th pick in Yahoo! drafts this past fall.
