Ryan O'Reilly earned his first hat trick of the season and the seventh of his career, Juuse Saros turned away 39 shots and the Nashville Predators beat the Colorado Avalanche 7-3 in Denver on Friday.
The Nashville Predators have been having a rough go of it early in the season so far as they sit at the bottom of the Western Conference standings and finished at the bottom of the league last season as well.
On an episode of Oilersnation Everyday earlier this week, David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period mentioned Ryan O’Reilly’s name, saying that it is starting to make the rounds again.

More than a decade has passed since the NHL instituted a rule change that essentially mandates players play with a visor going forward, yet there are still a few veterans who play without one.

With O'Reilly in the last year of his contract and the Blues struggling to stay in the playoff picture, it made sense to find a trade for him. Allowing him a chance to compete in the playoffs, while getting something in return was a win-win for both parties.
O'Reilly is entering his third season with the Blues and his 12th year in the NHL. He helped the franchise capture its first Stanley Cup in 2019, winning the Conn Smythe Trophy that year as MVP of the playoffs.
