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

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

Penguins' Drew O'Connor: Tickles twine in win
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.

Penguins' Drew O'Connor: Puts up career numbers
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. With an opening on the top line, it was O'Connor who found himself playing on Sidney Crosby's left wing. In that spot, the 25-year-old O'Connor registered 12 of his 33 points this year. Unless the Penguins add a top-six winger in free agency, O'Connor should start 2024-25 in a top-six role.

Penguins' Drew O'Connor: Two-point effort in loss
O'Connor scored a shorthanded goal on three shots, added an assist, went plus-2 and blocked two shots in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Bruins.
O'Connor scored for a third straight game and earned his first multi-point effort since March 14. The 25-year-old's hard-working style has earned him looks in a top-line role, and he continues to pay off. He's up to 16 goals, 33 points, 158 shots on net, 53 hits, 57 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating through 77 outings overall. O'Connor has found another gear offensively in 2023-24 after earning just 17 points in 78 games across his first three seasons.

On the year, O'Connor has set personal bests in goals (15), assists (16) and shots on net (155).

Penguins' Drew O'Connor: Goal in Monday's loss
O'Connor scored a goal on four shots in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.
O'Connor forced overtime with a goal 13:38 into the third period, swiping a loose puck past Ilya Samsonov to tie the game 2-2. It's the first goal and second point in five games for O'Connor after he scored in his previous three contests. The 25-year-old forward is up to 14 goals and 30 points, both career highs, through 75 games this season. O'Connor should offer some upside down the stretch while playing on Pittsburgh's top line with Sidney Crosby and Bryan Rust.

O'Connor scored a goal on four shots in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

The 25-year-old O'Connor has already set new personal bests in goals (12), assists (15), shots (137) and games played (69) this season.

Penguins' Drew O'Connor: Returns to lineup
O'Connor had two shots and two hits in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Senators.
After missing the last three games due to a concussion, O'Connor returned to his regular spot on the wing on the second line being centered by Evgeni Malkin. O'Connor has only six points since the All-Star break and even though he's playing second-line minutes, he is not a player that can be relied upon for consistent production. He did not see any power-play time against Ottawa.

Penguins' Drew O'Connor: Game-time call Tuesday
O'Connor (concussion) will be a game-time decision versus the Senators on Tuesday, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
O'Connor took the ice in a second-lone role alongside Evgeni Malkin and Reilly Smith at the game-day skate, so all signs seem to point to his involvement Tuesday. The 25-year-old New Jersey native is currently mired in a five-game pointless streak during which he's managed just five shots. Despite the recent slump, O'Connor has already set career highs this season in goals (nine), assists (12) and games played (60).

Penguins' Drew O'Connor: Ruled out versus Caps
O'Connor (concussion) will not be in the lineup against Washington on Thursday, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.
With O'Connor on the shelf, the Penguins will need at least one of Noel Acciari (upper body) or Jansen Harkins (upper body), who have both been deemed game-time decisions, to slot into the lineup. Otherwise, the club will need to recall another forward from the minors. Even with his injury, O'Connor has already set new personal bests in goals (nine), assists (12) and games played (60) this year.

Penguins' Drew O'Connor: Suffers concussion
O'Connor left Tuesday's game versus the Blue Jackets due to a concussion.
O'Connor didn't play after the second period. He will be out until he is able to pass the concussion protocol. The Penguins may need to call up a forward, as they only have 11 healthy forwards on the roster since Jansen Harkins (upper body) and Noel Acciari (upper body) are also injured.

Penguins' Drew O'Connor: Two points vs. Habs
O'Connor tallied a goal and an assist in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Canadiens.
O'Connor set up Kris Letang's tally in the first period before adding a goal of his own in the second, beating Cayden Primeau with a wrister to extend Pittsburgh's lead to 3-1. O'Connor now has goals in back-to-back games and five points (two goals, three assists) in his last five contests following a seven-game point drought. The 25-year-old forward is up to a career-best 20 points (eight goals, 12 assists) through 54 games this season.

Penguins' Drew O'Connor: Collects helper
O'Connor provided an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Blackhawks.
O'Connor has assists in consecutive games after going seven contests without a point. He set up Reilly Smith for a first-period marker Thursday, with that tally being the game-winner. O'Connor has played a middle-six role this season, logging 17 points, 93 shots on net and a plus-7 rating through 51 outings overall. That's unlikely to be enough offense to get him on the radar in most fantasy formats.

Penguins' Drew O'Connor: Credited with game-winning goal
O'Connor scored a goal in Monday's 3-0 home victory against the Kraken.
O'Connor opened the scoring at 0:49 of the second period with helpers to Bryan Rust and Evgeni Malkin. Since the Kraken didn't score, O'Connor was credited with the first game-winning goal of his career through 120 NHL games. His six goals also mark a new career best for the 25-year-old left wing. He'll look to carry over the momentum into Saturday's road game against the Golden Knights.
