Analysis:

Thankfully, the Avs` leading goal scorer appears none the worse for wear after leaving Sunday`s tilt against the Senators with a suspected injury. The Avs are already down two of their best offensive threats in P.A. Parenteau and Paul Stastny, so having O`Reilly available is a huge relief for Roy, who will be gunning to win his first game as an NHL coach in Montreal -- the city where he backstopped the Canadiens to two Stanley Cups. O`Reilly will resume his regular top-line duties next to Matt Duchene and Jamie McGinn, and will look to build on his post-Olympic hot streak (14 points in 10 games).
