Penguins' Drew O'Connor: Scores in Friday's loss

Penguins' Drew O'Connor: Racks up two points Wednesday
Drew 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 Pittsburgh 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.

Penguins' Drew O'Connor: Tickles twine in win
Drew O'Connor scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Red Wings.O'Connor put the Pittsburgh 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.

Penguins' Drew O'Connor: Puts up career numbers
Drew O'Connor set new personal bests in games (79), goals (16) and assists (17) this season while averaging 15:45 of ice time.It was a career year for O'Connor that was bolstered by the departure of Jake Guentzel.

Unless the Pittsburgh Penguins add a top-six winger in free agency, O'Connor should start 2024-25 in a top-six role.
