O'Connor produced an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and two PIM in Thursday's 9-2 win over the Canadiens. O'Connor snapped a three-game slump when he helped out on an Anthony Beauvillier goal. O'Connor has moved around the lineup at times this year, but he's mostly settled into a third-line role with the Penguins fully healthy. The 26-year-old has four helpers over his last eight games, and he's at 10 points, 50 shots on net, 32 blocked shots, 24 hits and a minus-12 rating over 31 appearances this season.

O'Connor notched an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Canucks. O'Connor has contributed three helpers over his last six outings, a warmer stretch after his 12-game point drought from Oct. 20 to Nov. 13. The 26-year-old has gotten the occasional top-six look, but he's mostly been a third-line option this season. He's at seven points, 40 shots on net, 25 blocked shots, 19 hits, 14 PIM and a minus-13 rating over 24 appearances.

O'Connor logged an assist, two shots on goal and two PIM in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Blue Jackets. O'Connor endured a 12-game point drought prior to Friday, posting a minus-13 rating and 20 shots on net in that span. The 26-year-old has been a middle-six fixture for the Penguins, but the team's lack of consistency on offense has made O'Connor a poor scorer for fantasy. He's at five points, 31 shots on net, 18 blocked shots, 12 hits, 12 PIM and a minus-14 rating through 19 appearances.

O'Connor scored a goal in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Hurricanes. O'Connor opened the scoring for the Penguins midway through the first period, but the Hurricanes would score four unanswered goals to flip the script entirely. O'Connor has recorded points in back-to-back games for the first time this season, and he's found the back of the net three times over his last five appearances, providing solid numbers for a middle-six forward. O'Connor is coming off a career-best campaign in 2023-24 after posting 16 goals and 33 points across 79 regular-season outings.

O'Connor scored a shorthanded goal and added an assist in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Sabres. O'Connor's two points helped the Penguins erase a 3-1 deficit in the second period. He's received some top-six looks but has spent time on the third line as well, which isn't ideal for his offense given the Penguins' shaky depth. O'Connor has three points, seven shots on net, four hits and five blocked shots over five appearances and will have a lower ceiling as long as he remains out of contention for a power-play role.
