Avalanche's Logan O'Connor: Hands out helper on game-winner
Rotowire
O'Connor recorded an assist in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.
O'Connor has three goals and two assists over his last 11 outings. The 28-year-old was a healthy scratch a couple of times in March, but with a lot of injury concerns for the Avalanche entering the playoffs, he should hold onto at least a bottom-six role initially. The checking forward finishes the regular season with 10 goals, 11 helpers, 89 shots on net, 68 hits, 50 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 80 appearances.

Rotowire
O'Connor scored a goal and recorded four shots in Monday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Flames.

He's found the back of the net in three of his last four outings, a span in which he's also racked up nine shots, two hits and one blocked shot.

Avalanche's Logan O'Connor: Fills empty net
Rotowire
O'Connor scored an empty-net goal on three shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Red Wings.

O'Connor had been limited to one assist over his last nine outings. For the season, the 28-year-old has eight goals, 17 points, 77 shots on net, 60 hits, 42 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating across 70 appearances. He'll continue to see bottom-six minutes unless the Avalanche suffer a rash of injuries.

Avalanche's Logan O'Connor: Manages helper in win
Rotowire
O'Connor notched an assist in Friday's 4-2 win over the Flames.
O'Connor snapped a five-game point drought and earned his first helper since Jan. 14 versus the Rangers. The 28-year-old forward has been shuffled down to the fourth line after the Avalanche's trade-deadline moves, and he'll likely struggle for ice time over the rest of the campaign. He's at 16 points, 73 shots on net, 54 hits, 41 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating through 66 appearances, putting him at risk of missing the 20-point mark for the first time in four seasons.

Rotowire
O'Connor scored a goal in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Devils.
O'Connor ended his 13-game point drought with a tally late in the third period. The 28-year-old has slipped into a fourth-line role and saw just 9:04 of ice time Wednesday, which was a season-low mark. Overall, he's up to 15 points, 71 shots on net, 52 hits, 33 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating across 60 appearances, well off the pace that has seen him earn at least 24 points in each of the last three years.

O'Connor tallied at 14:52 of the first period to give the Avalanche a 2-0 lead.

Avalanche's Logan O'Connor: Picks up helper in win
Rotowire
O'Connor provided an assist in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Kings.
O'Connor snapped a six-game point drought with the helper. The 28-year-old has often seen top-six minutes this season, though he was on the third line Wednesday.

O'Connor's picked up just three points with 20 shots on net, 28 hits and a minus-3 rating over 17 appearances, though he may be able to do more in a smaller role that's better suited to his skills.

Avalanche's Logan O'Connor: Nets first goal of campaign
Rotowire
O'Connor scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Senators.
The tally was O'Connor's first point of 2024-25. He's been pressed into a second-line role for much of the season due to a number of injuries to other forwards. O'Connor missed a large portion of 2023-24 after undergoing hip surgery and appears to still be getting his overall game back up to speed. He's added 11 shots on net, 23 hits, nine PIM and a minus-4 rating through nine appearances. Once the Avalanche get healthier, he'll likely be a regular on the third line.

Rotowire
O'Connor scored an empty-net goal, dished an assist, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Thursday's 3-1 preseason win over the Golden Knights.
This was O'Connor's second game of preseason action. The 28-year-old's 2023-24 campaign was abbreviated by hip surgery, but he hasn't been limited since camp opened.

O'Connor has produced between 24 and 26 points in each of the last three years while also adding some grit and penalty-killing skill.
