O'Connor (hip) will hit the ground running when training camp opens, telling reporters Wednesday, "I was skating mid-June, so it gave me lots of runway before this season to sort of ramp it up and be feeling good come camp," per Brennan Vogt of The-Rink.com.

EDGE Analysis

O'Connor has reached the 20-point threshold in each of the last three seasons, including last year when he was limited to just 57 regular-season contests but set a new personal best with 13 goals. Assuming he can stay healthy for the entirety of the 2024-25 campaign, he could top the 30-point mark for the first time in his five-year NHL career.
