Out with hip surgery O'Connor (hip) underwent surgery and is expected to miss five-to-six months, the team announced Friday.

Impact A five-to-six month recovery means a return in November at the earliest for O'Connor, who battled through 80 regular-season games in the 2024-25 season in a mostly bottom-six role with the Avalanche. He scored 10 goals and added 11 assists in the regular season, but the 28-year-old brought it to a different level in the postseason with six points in seven games in the team's loss in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs to the Stars. That kind of production will be hard to replace in the role that he played, but if all goes well with his recovery, the Avalanche should still be able to get him back for a big chunk of the season

Earns shorthanded helper O'Connor notched a shorthanded assist and three shots on goal in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Stars in Game 7.

Impact O'Connor made up for a quiet regular season with two goals and four helpers over seven playoff games. The 28-year-old forward did all of that from a bottom-six role without power-play time. O'Connor signed a six-year extension with the Avalanche prior to the start of 2024-25, so he's part of their long-term plans as a reliable defensive depth forward who can move up the lineup when necessary.

Impact O'Connor is enjoying a solid start to the postseason, as he was coming off a two-assist performance in the series opener Saturday. He has four points so far in the series, which is even more surprising considering he plays in the fourth line. Plus, he had only 21 points over 80 regular-season games, which marked his lowest scoring output in the last four years, and making this impressive start to the playoffs even more eye-popping.

He had 21 points over 80 regular-season games, his lowest scoring output in the last four years. Entering this playoff run, he had just five points over 31 previous postseason games.

Impact O'Connor has three goals and two assists over his last 11 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.
