It's been a whirlwind couple of weeks for Ryan O'Reilly. When he woke up on Sept. 13, O'Reilly wasn't sure whether or not he'd be included in the World Cup of Hockey at all. The next day, he was playing for Canada in a pre-tournament game in Pittsburgh. By the end of the month, he'd played in every game for the team that won the whole thing.
Having played seven of the fastest games he's ever played, O'Reilly didn't force himself to pratice on Monday. Sabres coach Dan Bylsma said that O'Reilly will travel with the team to Marquette, Mich and return to the ice for practice on Tuesday. He'll make his preseason debut on Wednesday against the Carolina Hurricanes in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont.
