Colorado Avalanche's Logan O'Connor Signs Contract Extension Through 2031

Monday, September 23rd, 2024

Logan O'Connor and the Colorado Avalanche have reached an agreement on a six-year contract extension, ensuring he remains with the team until the 2030-31 season.

Although he missed games last season due to hip surgery, O'Connor achieved a personal best with 13 goals and played a key role in the Avalanche's 2022 Stanley Cup triumph.

Chris MacFarland, the general manager of the Avalanche, commended O'Connor for his work ethic, energy, and capabilities as a versatile player and penalty-killer.

Before his NHL career, O'Connor played for the University of Denver and was part of the team that won the NCAA championship during the 2016-17 season.

O'Connor expressed his gratitude for the support received from his teammates following the announcement of his contract extension.

With the backing of star players like Cale Makar, Nathan MacKinnon, and Mikko Rantanen, O'Connor aims to help the Avalanche regain their former glory after falling short in the playoffs for the past two seasons.

As the team awaits the return of Gabriel Landeskog and Artturi Lehkonen, O'Connor's recovery from his injury presents a valuable addition to the squad.

O'Connor is confident that the Avalanche have the potential to succeed, drawing lessons from past shortcomings.
