O'Connor scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Red Wings.
O'Connor put the Penguins ahead 3-1 in the second period. He played on the second line in this contest after earning a spot on Sidney Crosby's wing versus the Rangers on Opening Night. O'Connor emerged as a useful complementary forward last year with 33 points, 160 shots on net and a plus-14 rating in 79 appearances. The 26-year-old will have fantasy appeal in deeper formats as long as he stays in the top six, but that's no guarantee once Bryan Rust (lower body) returns from injured reserve.
