O'Connor scored a goal on four shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Sharks.
O'Connor snapped a seven-game slump with the tally. He also saw 17:21 of ice time Thursday, his fourth-highest total of the season. The 28-year-old forward usually plays on a checking line, but he was given second-line duties in this contest. He has four points, 18 shots on net, 21 hits, 14 PIM, 10 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating over 15 appearances this season, giving him some appeal in banger leagues.
