O'Connor scored a goal on a penalty shot, added two PIM and logged two hits in Thursday's 2-1 overtime win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Macklin Celebrini hooked O'Connor 33 seconds into overtime. O'Connor made no mistake on the penalty shot for his second goal in three games as a Canuck. He's already been promoted to the second line at even strength as head coach Rick Tocchet looks for forward trios that will have chemistry. O'Connor doesn't get power-play time, but he'll be a fixture in the lineup and can chip in some depth scoring. For the season, the 26-year-old has eight goals, 18 points, 91 shots on net, 55 hits, 42 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating over 56 outings between Vancouver and Pittsburgh.
