He's coming off year in which he had career highs in goals (nine) and TOI (14:12), but the winger may not repeat or improve on those numbers this season.

O'Connor scored a short-handed goal over 12:51 of ice time in Saturday's 5-3 win over Florida. - O'Connor went to the net on a 2-on-1 break and was perfectly placed for the rebound of an Andrew Cogliano shot to give Colorado a 1-0 lead.

He's added 75 hits and a plus-4 rating, but a lack of power-play time indicates a big spike in offense is unlikely for the 26-year-old. |

O'Connor notched an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Flyers. - O'Connor helped out on a Devon Toews goal in the second period.

The 26-year-old now has five goals and four helpers in 27 contests, and he's added 46 shots on net, 38 hits, 23 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating. He's best suited to a third-line role as physical forward. |

Scoring depth has been an issue for the Avs thus far, but the team got three goals Saturday from second- and third-liners.

The 26-year-old right winger has a goal and a helper during his past three games after being held without a point in his first four starts. |

He sent it up to Valeri Nichushkin, who set up Bowen Byram on the Avalanche's second goal. The assist was an important one for O'Connor, who entered Friday without a point in the first four games of the year. The checking-line winger has picked up five shots on net, 13 hits, a plus-3 rating and four PIM through five contests. He had 24 points in 81 outings last year, so there's room for him to grow on offense if he can build off Friday's effort. |

It's been a slow start to the season for O'Connor, who was dropped to the fourth line Wednesday. |

After establishing himself as a competent and responsible lineup regular in 2021-22, when he played 81 of 82 games, O'Connor should remain a bottom-six staple this season. He also moved around the lines last season with an ability to assimilate to different line partners. The 26-year-old has three shots, seven hits, four PIM and is plus-2 thus far. |

The forward had 24 points in a team-high 81 games during the regular season, though it's expected he'll only see a limited role while he's in the lineup. The goal Saturday was his first point to go with seven hits and a plus-3 rating through four playoff contests. |

O'Connor scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Avalanche. - O'Connor ended his 45-game goal drought that dated back to January. In that span, the forward notched just eight assists while playing in a bottom-six role.

O'Connor notched an assist, two shots on goal and two PIM in Monday's 5-4 win over the Islanders. - O'Connor ended a three-game point drought in this contest. The 25-year-old still isn't shooting very much -- he's put just 36 shots on net during a 29-game goal drought, and he's added just seven assists in that span. The forward has 20 points, 101 shots on net, 69 hits, 27 PIM and a plus-10 rating while playing in a bottom-six role for much of the season. |

Compher tipped into the net in the third period. This was O'Connor's second assist in three games after a seven-game point drought.

O'Connor supplied an assist in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Red Wings. - O'Connor set up a Tyson Jost goal in the first period, with the former snapping a seven-game point drought. Playing in a bottom-six role hasn't led to much offense for O'Connor this season -- he has a decent 18 points with 61 hits, 94 shots on net and a plus-9 rating in 51 contests. He'll likely continue to play on the third line, though his fantasy value is limited to deeper formats that reward his physicality. |

O'Connor had one shot on net and a team-high five hits in Wednesday's 2-0 win over Vegas. - O'Connor's stuck in a scoring malaise -- just four points in 25 games since Dec. 10 -- but he continues log minutes on the third line for the Avalanche. Doling out body checks isn't usually O'Connor's game, but he plays both ends of the ice and can adapt to whichever role coaches ask of him. The 25-year-old winger has six goals, 11 assists, 91 shots on net, 57 hits, 38 blocked shots, 23 PIM and is plus-9 through 48 games. |

This was O'Connor's second straight game with an assist. The 25-year-old has fallen off the pace on offense with just four helpers during his 15-game goal drought. For the season, he's at 17 points (four while shorthanded), 85 shots on net, 46 hits and 23 PIM through 43 contests. |

Compher at the goalmouth to give Colorado a 2-0 lead. The 25-year-old Texan is not a big source of points -- O'Connor has four points over the last 19 games -- but is one of three members of the Avalanche to appear in all 42 games. |
None |

O'Connor had an assist, three shots on net, three blocked shots and two penalty minutes in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Kings. - O'Connor quickly spotted and fed Nicolas Aube-Kubel leaving the penalty box, which set up a breakaway goal. The assist was just the third point in the last 15 games for O'Connor, who is a regular member of the penalty kill and averages 15:31 TOI per game. For the season, the fourth-year forward has six goals, nine assists, 81 shots and 18 PIM through 38 contests. |

O'Connor had one shot on goal and two hits in Monday's 4-3 shootout win over the Wild. - O'Connor jumped up a line to the second unit, taking the spot usually reserved for Valeri Nichushkin, who was placed in COVID-19 protocols. Nichushkin could miss games Wednesday and Thursday, giving O'Connor more chances in a top-six role. He's been a versatile depth piece for the Avalanche this season, but the forward has just two points over the last 13 games. |

O'Connor notched an assist, three shots on goal, three hits, two blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 4-3 win over the Kraken. - O'Connor filled the stat sheet Monday, though he wasn't able to get a goal. The 25-year-old set up Nicolas Aube-Kubel for the opening tally just 5:50 into the first period. O'Connor continues to serve as more of a depth scorer, and he's picked up just two points in his last nine outings since a two-goal game Dec. 8 versus the Rangers. The American forward is at 14 points, 68 shots, 36 hits, 28 blocks, a plus-8 rating and 16 PIM in 32 appearances. |

O'Connor scored a goal on six shots and blocked two shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Ducks. - O'Connor gave the Avalanche their first lead with 1:11 in regulation, and it held up as the game-winner. The 25-year-old entered the schedule pause on a four-game point drought, so it was good to see him get back on the scoresheet quickly. The American forward has six tallies, seven assists, 65 shots on net, 29 hits, 25 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating in 28 outings this year. Four of his points have come shorthanded -- he's tied with the Capitals' Evgeny Kuznetsov for the NHL lead in that category. |

O'Connor scored two goals and went plus-3 in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Rangers. - O'Connor's goals came 22 seconds apart in the second period, with the second being an impressive unassisted effort. The 25-year-old was on the top line in Wednesday's game, logging 17:02 of ice time. He has established a lot of trust with head coach Jared Bednar, so it wouldn't be surprising to see O'Connor stay in the top six for a bit. He's up to five goals, seven assists, 55 shots on net and a plus-6 rating through 23 outings. |

O'Connor had a shorthanded assist, one shot on goal, two hits and a blocked shot in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Canadiens. - O'Connor did most of the work on Colorado's first goal. He raced Chris Wideman into the Montreal zone for a loose puck and pressured the defenseman into a turnover, then he found the trailing Valeri Nichushkin, who squeezed the puck through the pads of Jake Allen. It was O'Connor's third shorthanded point of the season and ninth overall in 20 games. There will be a lineup tweak when J.T. Compher (upper body) returns mid-December, but O'Connor has played well enough to retain a role on the third line. |

O'Connor had an assist, three shots on goal and two hits over 15:13 of ice time in Wednesday's 8-3 loss to the Maple Leafs. - O'Connor had been skating on Colorado's top line but was dropped to the third line, as Nathan MacKinnon returned from a lower-body injury. The 25-year-old winger helped on Samuel Girard's goal late in the first period to give the Avalanche its first tally. No longer on a line with offensive stars Mikko Rantanen and Gabriel Landeskog, O'Connor is tasked with developing an on-ice rapport with prospect Alex Newhook and the recently acquired Nicolas Aube-Kubel. He has five assists and eight points over 19 games. |

O'Connor produced an assist and five shots on goal in Monday's 7-5 win over the Senators. - O'Connor came up clutch in the third period, setting up Alex Newhook for the game-winning tally. The 25-year-old O'Connor has been solid in seven games in November, recording three goals and two assists while playing top-six minutes for the first time in his career. He has seven points, 40 shots, 15 hits and an even plus-minus rating in 15 outings overall. |

O'Connor had one shot on goal, one hit and four penalty minutes while finishing minus-1 in Friday's 7-3 win over Seattle. - O'Connor was the lone member of the Avalanche to finish on the negative side of plus/minus, but he remained at right wing of the first line for the second consecutive game. In two contests since he replaced J.T. Compher (upper body), who was filling in for Nathan MacKinnon (lower body), O'Connor has one shot on goal, two hits, two blocked shots, four PIM, one takeaway and is minus-1 while averaging 15:41 TOI. |

O'Connor had one hit and two blocked shots over 16:06 of ice time in Wednesday's 4-2 win over Vancouver. - O'Connor opened the game on Colorado's top line but did not finish there. Nor was he used on the power play, where the Avalanche did most of their damage, scoring on three of five opportunities. In the third period, Andre Burakovsky took shifts on the top line while O'Connor joined other units. Avs head coach Jared Bednar is looking for someone to join Gabriel Landeskog and Mikko Rantanen on the first line until Nathan MacKinnon (lower body) returns, which is expected to happen about the beginning of the December. |

O'Connor practiced on the top line Monday, Adrian Dater of Colorado Hockey Now reports. - O'Connor was promoted to the first line after the Avalanche announced J.T. Compher will miss "approximately a month" with an upper-body injury. Compher had been filling in for the injured Nathan MacKinnon (lower body), who is not due back until the beginning of December. So, for at least the start of Wednesday's game in Vancouver, O'Connor will join Mikko Rantanen, who moves to center, and Gabriel Landeskog. That's a plum assignment for O'Connor, who's scored goals in two straight games and posted five points in the last six. |

O'Connor scored a shorthanded goal and blocked two shots in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Sharks. - O'Connor has been solid lately, logging three goals and two helpers in his last six contests. He has six points in 12 games overall, besting his career high of five points from 22 outings last year. The 25-year-old has topped 17 minutes of ice time in three of the last four games, showing that head coach Jared Bednar trusts him with a more advanced role. As long as he keeps contributing on offense, he'll be worth a look in deeper fantasy formats. |

O'Connor scored a goal on four shots, dished a shorthanded assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 7-1 win over the Canucks. - O'Connor's pair of points came in the second period as the Avalanche tightened their grip on the lead. The 25-year-old forward is up to five points, 33 shots on net, 12 hits, nine blocked shots and a minus-1 rating in 11 contests. He could benefit from Nathan MacKinnon (lower body) missing three weeks -- O'Connor played on the third line Thursday after previously logging fourth-line minutes more frequently. |

O'Connor scored a goal on six shots in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Blue Jackets. - O'Connor tallied just 32 seconds into the second period after a scoreless first. The 25-year-old forward played on the second line with the Avalanche missing three wingers from their preferred lineup. The Texas native has a goal, two assists, 26 shots on net, 11 hits and a minus-3 rating in nine appearances, and he could continue to see at least middle-six minutes until some forwards return from injury. |
