Logan O’Connor finishes the year with a career-high 13 goals in 57 games.
Colorado Avalanche right wing Logan O’Connor moments after scoring his first goal in the first period against the Los Angeles Kings at Ball Arena in Denver on Friday, Jan. 26, 2024. The veteran forward is set to have season-ending hip surgery, Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said Sunday.
“Well, it sucks because he’s been a real good contributor to our team for a long time,” Bednar said. “He’s really dialed in with what he has to do.” “We had an idea that it wasn’t going well for him,” Bednar said. “I would say yeah. Adding depth is important regardless, but especially when you’re dealing with potentially getting bad news on a guy that’s played for us all year long.”
Lehkonen, Colton and defenseman Jack Johnson all missed practice Sunday because they were ill, but Bednar expects them to join the team on the road trip and be available to play Tuesday in Calgary. Chris Wagner practiced Sunday and could return to the lineup against the Flames. “He’s not going to come back too early. It’s just not going to happen,” Bednar said. “He has a timeline that says, ‘You’re not coming back before this date. Doesn’t matter how good you feel,’ and we’re sticking to that. It’s his career. So we’re not going to play with that regardless of where we’re at in a playoff series. So that’s No. 1.
