This season, he contributed 21 points over 80 games, including 10 goals and 11 assists, positioning himself 29th in Frank J. Selke Trophy voting, awarded to the league's top defensive forward.

In his seven-year career, all with the Avalanche, O'Connor has amassed 103 points, comprising 45 goals and 58 assists across 343 games played. His absence will be felt as the team looks to maintain momentum following a competitive season.
