Logan O’Connor Steps Away From Avalanche After Father’s Sudden Death

Colorado Avalanche forward Logan O’Connor has withdrawn from the team’s upcoming schedule following the sudden passing of his father. The news comes as the Avalanche prepare for a critical stretch, having already faced setbacks in their early-season road games.

After a 3–2 loss to the Winnipeg Jets on Wednesday night, the team now turns its attention to a back-to-back against the struggling Calgary Flames, who sit at 0–3–0 in their first three games. The Jets’ victory was secured late by Kyle Connor, who scored twice, including the game-winning goal with under a minute remaining.

Meanwhile, the Avalanche’s lineup may soon see reinforcements return, with reports suggesting injured forwards could be available for the upcoming weekend matchups. The team’s recent performance has been mixed, with a 2–1–0 record heading into the Flames series, though they remain in contention in the Central Division.
