Overview

  • Logan O’Connor underwent successful hip surgery on June 6, 2025, and is expected to be sidelined for five to six months.
  • That recovery timeline makes it unlikely he will be available when the Avalanche open the 2025-26 season, potentially delaying his return until December.
  • The 28-year-old winger previously had a similar hip procedure in March 2024 that also kept him out for several months.
  • O’Connor carries a cap hit of $2.5 million with five years remaining on his contract, leading the team to consider placing him on long-term injury reserve.
  • In the 2024-25 regular season, he recorded 21 points in 80 games and added six points in seven first-round playoff games against the Dallas Stars.
