Logan O'Connor - NHL News & Rumors

Set to play Monday O'Connor (personal) is expected to play against Chicago on Monday, according to Aarif Deen of Colorado Hockey Now.

Sitting out Saturday's clash O'Connor (personal) will not play in Saturday's home clash against the Flames, per Corey Masisak of The Denver Post.

Impact O'Connor will get Saturday's clash off as he continues to mourn the loss of his father, Myles. The 30-year-old winger was recently given the all clear from his lower-body injury and has played in three games this season. In his absence Saturday, Gavin Brindley will take his spot on the team's fourth line. Expect O'Connor to have a solid chance to play in Monday's road clash against the Blackhawks.

Not at practice Friday O'Connor wasn't present for Friday's practice session while tending to a personal matter, Corey Masisak of The Denver Post reports.

Impact O'Connor wasn't at practice Friday ahead of the funeral for his father, Myles, in the evening. It's not yet clear whether O'Connor will be available for Saturday's game against the Flames, but a better idea of his status could come into focus based on his participation in morning skate. O'Connor has appeared in each of Colorado's last three games, and he's been held scoreless with six PIM and a hit while averaging 13:24 of ice time.

Set to return Friday O'Connor (lower body) will return for Friday's game against Tampa Bay, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.

Impact O'Connor had been trending toward a Friday return in recent days, and the Avalanche are set to activate him from long-term injured reserve ahead of their matchup against the Lightning. The 30-year-old recorded no goals, two assists, 11 hits, four PIM and three blocked shots while averaging 11:27 of ice time across 13 regular-season appearances with Colorado, and he's slated to take on a bottom-six role now that he's healthy.

Expected to play Friday O'Connor (lower body) is slated to play in Friday's matchup with Tampa Bay, Conor McGahey of Altitude TV reports.

Impact O'Connor has yet to get into the lineup this season, sitting out the first eight games of the year. The 30-year-old winger will be out for another two, at which point he'll meet the requirement for reactivation after being on long-term injured reserve. Once given the all-clear, O'Connor figures to take on a bottom-six role for the Avs.

Moved to LTIR O'Connor (lower body/personal) was transferred to long-term injured reserve Wednesday, per PuckPedia.

Impact O'Connor was believed to be close to returning last week, but the sudden passing of his father has changed the timeline for the forward's return. O'Connor will be out for at least three more games -- he's first eligible to return Oct. 23 versus the Lightning, as placement on LTIR requires an absence of at least 10 games and 24 days. An update on his return timeline will likely come into focus once he's back with the team.

Will not play Thursday O'Connor (lower body) will not play Thursday in Calgary following the sudden passing of his father, Myles.

Impact O'Connor is away from the team to be with his family during this hard time. The 30-year-old forward was nearing a return from his injury, but that will be put on hold while he deals with more important things.

OCTOBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Might be available for Thursday O'Connor (lower body) won't play Wednesday in Winnipeg, but he might be an option Thursday in Calgary, per Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette.

Impact O'Connor is set to miss his third straight game Wednesday due to the injury. He'll likely serve in a bottom-six capacity once he's available, but the 30-year-old might also spend some time as a healthy scratch. O'Connor had two assists in 13 regular-season outings with the Avalanche in 2025-26.

OCTOBER 6 • Associated Press

Out for start of season O'Connor (lower body) won't play at the beginning of the 2026-27 campaign, Aarif Deen of Colorado Hockey Now reports.

Impact O'Connor is on injured reserve and won't play in Wednesday's season opener against the Kings. It's unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup. O'Connor contributed two assists, 13 shots on goal and 11 hits in 13 appearances for Colorado during the 2025-26 regular season.

SEPTEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Hits injured reserve O'Connor (lower body) was put on injured reserve Monday, according to Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette.

Impact O'Connor's placement on IR is retroactive to Sept. 21, so he could still be activated prior to Colorado's season opener at home against the Kings on Wednesday. T.J. Hughes earned a roster spot out of training camp, so O'Connor might not be guaranteed to be an everyday player once he's ready to be inserted into the lineup. The 30-year-old O'Connor played in just 13 regular-season games in 2025-26, registering two assists while averaging 11:27 of ice time.

SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with lower-body injury O'Connor (lower body) was deemed day-to-day Sunday, per Corey Masisak of The Denver Post.

Impact Head coach Jared Bednar shared that O'Connor is currently day-to-day with a lower-body injury, which puts his status up in the air for Colorado's regular-season opener. The 30-year-old forward scored a big goal in the team's first game of the 2026 postseason, but he missed the majority of the 2025-26 campaign while recovering from hip surgery. While his roster spot isn't guaranteed, O'Connor has been a reliable depth winger for the Avs since the 2021-22 campaign, which gives him a strong case to make the Opening Night roster.

Surprise Game 1 hero O'Connor scored the game-winning goal Sunday during the Avalanche's 2-1 victory over the Kings in Game 1 of their first-round series.

Impact The 29-year-old winger missed most of the regular season after undergoing hip surgery last June, and he didn't score a goal in 13 games once he finally made his 2025-26 debut in late March. In fact, O'Connor's last tally was also a playoff game-winner, as he opened the scoring in a 4-0 win over the Stars in Game 4 of the first round last year. O'Connor produced a surprising two goals and six points in that seven-game series before Colorado's elimination, and he may be gearing up to provide some valuable secondary scoring once again despite his bottom-six role.
