Earns two points in loss O'Connor scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Flyers.

Impact O'Connor has three goals and four points over his last four outings. The 27-year-old clicked on a line with David Kampf in this contest, as the two set each other up for tallies. O'Connor is now at 10 goals, 16 points, 48 shots on net, 31 hits and a plus-2 rating through 39 appearances. He's already matched his goal total from 2024-25, which he accumulated in 84 contests between the Canucks and the Penguins, and his career high of 16 from 2023-24 is very much within reach in the second half.

Nets shortie Saturday O'Connor scored a shorthanded goal on three shots in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Sharks.

Impact O'Connor has scored in consecutive games after opening December with a nine-game point drought. The 27-year-old forward continues to be a key depth player for the Canucks, with his primarily value coming on the defensive side. He's up to nine goals (two shorthanded), five assists, 45 shots on net, 30 hits, 17 blocked shots, 18 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 37 appearances.

Ends December drought O'Connor scored his eighth goal of the season in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Flyers.

Impact The 27-year-old snapped home a fairly meaningless tally for the Canucks with 18 seconds left in the game, but the goal did at least lift a weight off O'Connor's shoulders -- he'd been held off the scoresheet completely over the first nine games in December. On the season, O'Connor has produced 13 points in 36 games while skating in a bottom-six role with 42 shots on net, 30 hits, 17 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a minus-1 rating.

Impact O'Connor appeared to put the game to rest at 18:08 of the third period, though the Ducks were able to get a goal back after his empty-netter. All seven of his goals have come in November, and this was his first game-winner of the campaign. The 27-year-old forward is at 11 points, 30 shots on net, 18 hits, 13 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 24 appearances in a middle-six role.

Lights lamp again in loss O'Connor scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 8-5 loss to the Panthers.

Impact O'Connor opened the scoring at 14:50 of the first period, and that set off a burst of offense from both teams over the next 12 minutes of game action. The 27-year-old forward has four goals and an assist over his last six games. For the season, he's up to six goals, 10 points, 27 shots on net, 17 hits, 12 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 21 appearances in a middle-six role.

Buries shorthanded tally O'Connor scored a shorthanded goal on two shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Avalanche.

Impact O'Connor has four goals and three assists over his last six outings. The 27-year-old has scored all four of his goals in November after a lackluster start to the season. He's up to eight points, 22 shots on net, 13 hits, 11 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating while featuring in a middle-six role. O'Connor's worth a look in deeper fantasy formats, but he's not going to offer standout production in any one area.

One of each in win O'Connor scored a goal on two shots, added an assist, logged two hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact This was O'Connor's third multi-point effort in his last five games. The 27-year-old set up a Jake DeBrusk tally early in the second period before scoring a goal of his own in the final minute of the frame. For the season, O'Connor has three goals and seven points, as well as 13 hits, 10 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 16 appearances. He's benefited lately from being a healthy player for the Canucks while many other teammates have battled injuries, allowing the forward to see extra ice time.

Scores both goals in loss O'Connor scored twice in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Wild.

Impact O'Connor has earned four points over the last two games after his two-assist effort Thursday in St. Louis. The 27-year-old forward had both of the Canucks' goals Saturday and could continue to see an increase in his chances on offense while the team is dealing with numerous injuries around the lineup. O'Connor has five points, 15 shots on net, 10 hits, eight blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 13 outings this season.

NOVEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Provides pair of assists O'Connor recorded two assists and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Blues.

Impact O'Connor helped out on two even-strength tallies by Kiefer Sherwood. This was O'Connor's first contribution on offense since Opening Night, ending a 10-game slump. Under normal circumstances, that might have put him at risk of a healthy scratch, but the Canucks' injury woes have forced him into a larger role -- he saw a season-high 16:19 of ice time Thursday after Brock Boeser (undisclosed) left the game early. O'Connor has three helpers, 13 shots on net, 10 hits, seven blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 12 outings.

Manages helper in win O'Connor supplied an assist, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Flames.

Impact O'Connor is getting a chance in a fourth-line role to begin the season, as Nils Hoglander (lower body) and Teddy Blueger (undisclosed) are out of action. The 27-year-old O'Connor put up 25 points over 84 appearances between the Canucks and the Penguins last year. He's a decent defensive forward who can kill penalties effectively, but his ceiling is likely around 30 points, and he doesn't chip in enough hits or PIM to make up for his limited offense.

Nabs assist Monday O'Connor notched an assist and four shots on goal in Monday's 2-1 overtime win over the Sharks.

Impact O'Connor ended an eight-game point drought with his helper on a Linus Karlsson goal in the third period. O'Connor is up to 25 points, 116 shots on net, 81 hits, 57 blocked shots, 34 PIM and a minus-15 rating over 83 appearances between the Canucks and the Penguins this season. He's been a solid bottom-six forward, but his production is rarely enough to make an impact in standard fantasy formats.

APRIL 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Two helpers against Isles O'Connor notched two assists in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.

Impact Both helpers came in the third period as the Canucks pulled away. It was O'Connor's first multi-point performance since Jan. 9, and in 21 appearances since coming over from the Penguins at the end of January, he's produced four goals and eight points.

Impact O'Connor has two goals over his last three contests. The 26-year-old may be getting a bit more comfortable with the Canucks, but it's also possible this is just a small bump on offense that happens for depth players from time to time. Overall, he's at 10 goals, 12 helpers, 105 shots on net, 73 hits, 52 blocked shots, 32 PIM and a minus-15 rating over 72 appearances between the Canucks and the Penguins this season.
