O'Connor notched an assist, three shots on goal and three blocked shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

O'Connor initially was credited with the Avalanche's fourth goal, but it was changed to Andrew Cogliano after the game. Either way, O'Connor's six-game point drought came to an end. The 26-year-old hadn't gotten on the scoresheet since his two-goal effort versus the Predators on Nov. 10. He's at five goals, two assists, 30 shots on net, 26 hits, 19 blocked shots, eight PIM and a plus-4 rating through 19 outings in a third-line role.

O'Connor scored a pair of goals, blocked five shots and added two hits in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

O'Connor's goals Thursday were separated by just 1:25 in the second period, with the latter coming on a breakaway. He also scored once in each game in Finland last weekend. The 26-year-old had a slow start to the year, but he's now at five goals, one assist and 19 shots on net through 12 contests. He's added 22 hits, 11 blocked shots, six PIM and a plus-5 rating while being an essential depth forward for an Avalanche team weathering some bad luck on the injury front.

O'Connor scored a goal on two shots and added two blocked shots over 15:00 of ice time in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Blue Jackets in Finland.

EDGE Analysis

It was the second consecutive game with a goal for O'Connor, who opened the scoring in Friday's 6-3 win. Scoring depth has been an issue for the Avs thus far, but the team got three goals Saturday from second- and third-liners. O'Connor has three goals in the last five games and is playing better since a slow start.

O'Connor scored during a 6-3 victory over the Blue Jackets on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

O'Connor, who is coming off an eight-goal campaign, connected on his second marker in 10 games Friday. A third-liner, O'Connor is fighting for more ice time. The 26-year-old right winger could discover additional shifts if she shoots more as he did on the game's second shot Friday, connecting off a snap shot. In 16:18 of ice time during the NHL Global Series opener, he added two shots and two blocks.

O'Connor scored his first goal Tuesday, helping to upend the Rangers 3-2 in a shootout.

EDGE Analysis

O'Connor has Andrew Cogliano to thank for his first goal of the season Tuesday. Cogliano chased a puck deep into the Rangers' zone and outbattled goalie Igor Shesterkin. In control, Cogliano spotted O'Connor open in the slot, netting the third short-handed goal against the Avalanche already this season. 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.

O'Connor notched a shorthanded assist and five hits in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

O'Connor helped win the puck in the defensive zone on the penalty kill. 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.

O'Connor had one shot on net, one hit and a costly giveaway over 8:01 of ice time in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

While on the penalty kill, O'Connor turned the puck over while trying to make an offensive play in the neutral zone instead of a dump-in. The sequence led to the Jets' first goal of the game, and O'Connor didn't play much after that. He had just just six shifts over the final two periods and a season-low ice time. It's been a slow start to the season for O'Connor, who was dropped to the fourth line Wednesday.

O'Connor had two shots on net, one hit, two penalty minutes and finished plus-1 over 13:16 of ice time in Monday's 6-3 win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

O'Connor has been held scoreless over the first three games -- one of five Colorado forwards that haven't made the scoresheet yet -- but he's not around to provide an abundance of offense. 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.

O'Connor produced an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 7-0 win over the Lightning in Game 2.

EDGE Analysis

O'Connor helped out on Darren Helm's goal late in the second period, which stretched the Avalanche's lead to 5-0. This was O'Connor's first point since Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals. The 25-year-old forward has a goal, three assists, 17 shots on net, 13 hits and a plus-3 rating in 13 playoff outings, though he's mainly been limited to a bottom-six role.

O'Connor notched an assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Tuesday's 8-6 win over the Oilers in Game 1.

EDGE Analysis

O'Connor set up Andrew Cogliano on what was the game-winning goal at 16:20 of the second period.

O'Connor has a goal, two helpers, 10 shots on net, 11 hits and a plus-3 rating through eight playoff appearances as a fourth-line option.
