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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Opens scoring in win O'Connor scored a goal in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Jets.

Impact O'Connor scored for the first time since Feb. 6 versus the Sharks. The 26-year-old has handled a middle-six role lately, but with just two assists over the 13 contests prior to Tuesday, he has not been reliable enough on offense to help most fantasy managers. For the season, he's earned nine goals, 21 points, 103 shots on net, 69 hits, 50 blocked shots and a minus-14 rating over 70 appearances between the Canucks and the Penguins.

The 26-year-old defensive forward is at 20 points, 99 shots on net, 60 hits, 44 blocked shots and a minus-14 rating over 62 appearances this season.

Lends assist Thursday O'Connor notched an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Ducks.

Impact O'Connor snapped a four-game point drought with the helper. Over the 4 Nations Face-Off break, the Canucks signed O'Connor to a two-year contract extension, which signals he's going to be a part of the team's middle six for a while. The 26-year-old has three points over eight contests since Vancouver acquired him from Pittsburgh, and he's at 19 points, 96 shots on net, 59 hits, 43 blocked shots and a minus-15 rating through 61 appearances this season.

Inks two-year extension O'Connor agreed to terms on a two-year, $5 million contract extension with Vancouver on Tuesday.

Impact O'Connor was scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent this offseason but has tied himself to the Canucks for two more seasons after being acquired by the club via trade in late January. In limited action with Vancouver, the 26-year-old winger has notched two goals on 10 shots in four games despite seeing slightly less ice time per game (13:57) than he was with Pittsburgh (14:37).

Converts penalty shot in overtime O'Connor scored a goal on a penalty shot, added two PIM and logged two hits in Thursday's 2-1 overtime win over the Sharks.

Impact Macklin Celebrini hooked O'Connor 33 seconds into overtime. O'Connor made no mistake on the penalty shot for his second goal in three games as a Canuck. He's already been promoted to the second line at even strength as head coach Rick Tocchet looks for forward trios that will have chemistry. O'Connor doesn't get power-play time, but he'll be a fixture in the lineup and can chip in some depth scoring. For the season, the 26-year-old has eight goals, 18 points, 91 shots on net, 55 hits, 42 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating over 56 outings between Vancouver and Pittsburgh.

FEBRUARY 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

First goal for new team O'Connor scored an empty-net goal on three shots, added two hits and logged two PIM in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Avalanche.

Impact This was O'Connor's first goal in two appearances since the Canucks acquired him as part of the Marcus Pettersson trade last Friday. The 26-year-old has slotted into a third-line role with the Canucks, similar to what he was seeing in Pittsburgh prior to the trade. He's at seven goals, 10 assists, 85 shots on net, 53 hits, 41 blocked shots and a minus-13 rating over 55 appearances in 2024-25.
