O'Connor was reassigned to AHL Binghamton on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
With the calling up of fellow goalie Chris Driedger to backup Craig Anderson while Andrew Hammond (head) remains out, O'Connor will be sent back down to the AHL for the time being. The 23-year-old still has plenty of time to progress and prove himself worthy of a gig in the majors.

O'Connor was recalled from AHL Binghamton on an emergency basis Sunday, Dean Brown of TSN 1200 reports.
EDGE Analysis
O'Connor started the season with Ottawa due to an injury to Andrew Hammond. After making a single start, he was reassigned October 13, when Hammond returned from injury. Another injury to Hammond has prompted this recall for O'Connor, but there is no information as to the severity of Hammond's injury. Whether O'Connor plays or not during this stint has everything to do with how long Hammond will be out, if at all.

O'Connor has been sent down to AHL Binghamton with the news that Andrew Hammond is ready to return from a groin injury, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
O'Connor was able to make his NHL debut Sunday against the Habs, posting a .912 save percentage in the loss. He remains an emergency call-up option when injuries threaten the more established goalie group for the Sens.

O'Connor made his NHL debut Sunday, stopping 31 of 34 shots in a loss to Montreal.
EDGE Analysis
A good start to the NHL for O'Connor, who saw his team get heavily outplayed by the Habs. While the 23-year-old has a promising future, he'll likely be sent down to AHL Binghamton once Andrew Hammond returns from a groin injury. O'Connor posted a remarkable 25-4-4 record with Boston University in 2014-15 and should further develop his game this season in his year at the professional level.

O'Connor will start in net for the Senators on Sunday against the Canadiens, Wayne Scanlan of the Ottawa Citizen reports.
EDGE Analysis
O'Connor seemed the likely candidate to receive the start on the back end of back-to-back games Sunday. Fortunately, he'll avoid Carey Price, and will instead face the Canadiens' backup in Mike Condon, giving him a slightly better chance at notching a victory.
