Logan O’Connor will likely miss the start of the 2025-26 season after undergoing hip surgery for the second time in two years.
Coming off a heroic postseason run that saw him notch six points in seven games, the Avalanche forward is expected to miss the next 5-6 months after undergoing the procedure on Friday morning, the team announced.
The surgery was performed by Dr. Bryan Kelly at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York. The team did not specify which hip was operated on, or if it was the same hip that had previously been repaired, but did declare the operation “successful.”
O’Connor was in the midst of a career year during the 2023-24 season when surgery to repair a torn labrum sidelined him for the final two months of the season. The University of Denver product told reporters before the 2024-25 campaign that he’d had a torn labrum for six years.
“For whatever reason, come November, it just became symptomatic,” he said at a golf tournament in August 2024.
O’Connor played through the discomfort for 57 games and scored a career-high 13 goals before undergoing the season-ending surgery in March 2024.
The winger was back on the ice for the start of the 2024-25 campaign and missed just two games while tallying 21 points (10 goals/11 assists) in an up-and-down regular season.
Yet O’Connor was one of the team’s more productive postseason performers playing alongside Jack Drury and Parker Kelly on the team’s fourth line. He had two goals and four assists — the last of which gave the Avs an early 1-0 lead in Game 7 against the Dallas Stars — and was a big part of the team’s penalty kill.
Now comes another setback that will keep him off the ice until November at minimum, if the team’s projections are accurate.
