Penguins' Drew O'Connor: Notches assist Thursday
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.

Penguins' Drew O'Connor: Plucks apple in win
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.

Penguins' Drew O'Connor: Picks up helper
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.

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.

O'Connor scored a goal on three shots in an overtime win versus Detroit on Thursday.
O'Connor has goals in back-to-back games -- he's racked up five tallies in his last nine outings. The 25-year-old center has been thriving while playing on Sidney Crosby's line following the departure of Jake Guentzel. 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.

Penguins' Drew O'Connor: Scores again Thursday
O'Connor scored a goal on four shots in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
O'Connor has goals in back-to-back games for just the second time this season. Even with the acquisition of Michael Bunting, it's been O'Connor who has found himself playing with Sidney Crosby the most following the departure of Jake Guentzel. 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.
