O'Brien (upper body) signed a two-year contract extension Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

O'Brien has averaged 9:25 of ice time, blocked 10 shots, delivered 131 hits, logged 106 PIM and generated three points over 37 games this season. The 27-year-old has missed the last three games while dealing with an upper-body injury. He will set his sights on returning for Tuesday's contest versus Detroit.

O'Brien is listed as week-to-week after suffering an upper-body injury against Vegas on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

This should rule O'Brien out for at least the next few games, including Sunday's tilt with Winnipeg. The 27-year-old has three points in 37 games this season, including just one over his last 29 appearances.

O'Brien added a goal in a 7-3 loss to the Rangers on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

O'Brien went 25 games without a goal before bending the back of the net in this one, beating Igor Shesterkin in the first three minutes of the contest. The physical force did not rack up any penalties in this one, but did lay out two hits.

O'Brien logged five PIM in a 4-0 loss to the Islanders on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

O'Brien is up to a ridiculous 49 PIM over his last 12 contests. But before you get too excited, he has not scored a point during that span. In 28 games, the 27-year-old has two points and 85 PIM.

O'Brien recorded 17 PIM, three hits and two shots on goal in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

O'Brien fought Mark Borowiecki in the first period and then earned a roughing minor and a misconduct as things got heated in the third. The 27-year-old O'Brien adds next to nothing on offense -- he has just two points in 24 contests this season. The tough forward has added 74 PIM, 77 hits, 19 shots on net and a plus-2 rating in a bottom-six role. Fantasy managers in most formats have little need to roster him.

O'Brien has no points in his last eight games.

EDGE Analysis

O'Brien is at two points, 36 PIM and 41 hits through 16 contests overall. He's carved out a fairly regular role on the fourth line with the Coyotes dealing with injured forwards, but he hasn't scored much. The 27-year-old could be at risk of exiting the lineup once Nick Schmaltz (upper body), Jay Beagle (lower body) or Johan Larsson (COVID-19 protocols) is ready to return.

O'Brien logged an assist, 17 PIM and two hits in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

O'Brien likely drew the ire of the Ducks when he committed goaltender interference against Anthony Stolarz in the first period. The 27-year-old bruiser picked up a misconduct penalty in the third, and then fought Ducks tough guy Nicolas Deslauriers at the final whistle. O'Brien also helped out on Shayne Gostisbehere's goal in the third period, but it's the tough stuff that stands out for the Nova Scotian. Through eight games, O'Brien has 31 PIM, 20 hits and two points in a fourth-line role.

O'Brien scored a goal on his only shot and racked up a game-high eight hits in Monday's 5-3 loss to Florida.

EDGE Analysis

O'Brien lit the lamp for the first time since his 2014-15 rookie season with Washington, snapping one short side on Spencer Knight from the right faceoff circle, cutting Florida's lead to 4-2 in the third period. O'Brien, who had just four assists in his first 30 NHL games, skated on the left side of Arizona's fourth line with Christian Fischer and Loui Eriksson and had less than nine minutes of ice time.

O'Brien signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Coyotes on Wednesday, per CapFriendly.

EDGE Analysis

O'Brien produced three assists in 12 games with the Avalanche last season. He added 28 hits and 40 PIM as a physical, bottom-six forward. He'll likely compete for a fourth-line role with the Coyotes.

O'Brien notched two assists, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

O'Brien set up linemates Pierre-Edouard Bellemare and J.T. Compher for the Avalanche's first two goals of the game. The 26-year-old O'Brien now has three helpers, 17 hits, 36 PIM and a plus-2 rating in eight contests. Entering this year, he had just two career points with the Capitals in his rookie year of 2014-15.
