Predators Fall 3-1 to Flyers as O’Reilly Blasts His ‘Pathetic’ Play

O’Reilly’s blunt self-critique underscores Nashville’s search for answers on offense.

Overview

  • Ryan O’Reilly opened the scoring 1:44 into the first before Matvei Michkov and Noah Cates turned the game, with Travis Konecny adding an empty-netter.
  • Flyers goalie Dan Vladar stopped 22 of 23 shots, while Juuse Saros made 23 saves on 25 attempts in another tight outing.
  • Nashville mustered only three shots in the third period and went 0-for-3 on the power play as both teams were held scoreless with the man advantage.
  • After the defeat, O’Reilly called his performance “pathetic” and said he “can’t make a six-foot pass to save my life,” citing turnovers and missed execution.
  • The Predators are 5-7-4 after dropping 10 of their last 13 games and will host the Dallas Stars on Nov. 8.
