O'Connor has added to the Avalanche's taxi squad, Mike Chambers of the Denver Post reports.
O'Connor is one of six players on the taxi squad, which also features forwards Shane Bowers, Martin Kaut and Kiefer Sherwood, defenseman Dennis Gilbert and goalie Hunter Miska. O'Connor has 21 games of NHL experience and most recently had two goals over 15 games for Colorado in 2019-20.

O'Connor had an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Monday's 6-3 win over the Stars in Game 5.

He's skated no more than 8:33 in four games since he was recalled from the minors -- don't expect the Texas native to make much of a fantasy impact.
The Avalanche promoted O'Connor from AHL Colorado on Saturday, Ryan S. Clark of The Athletic reports.
The Avs only had 12 healthy forwards on their roster prior to O'Connor's promotion, so he'll be on hand as an insurance policy for Saturday's clash with the Kings. The 23-year-old rookie has potted one goal in seven games with the big club this campaign.
The Avalanche reassigned O'Connor to AHL Colorado on Thursday.
O'Connor's demotion suggests Andre Burakovsky (upper body) could be ready to return Thursday against Montreal. The 23-year-old rookie wasn't very productive during his seven-game stint with the big club, but he was able to score his first NHL goal Nov. 27 against the Oilers.
O'Connor scored a goal in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Oilers.
O'Connor's tally capped a run of three goals in 2:32 for the Avalanche as they took over the game in the third period. It's his first point in four appearances this season, and also his first career point in nine games. The University of Denver product hasn't added much else (three shots on goal, two hits, plus-2 rating) in his limited time this season. With Andre Burakovsky (upper body) joining the ranks of injured Avalanche wingers, O'Connor could remain in the NHL a little longer than initially expected.

O'Connor didn't appear in a game during his brief NHL stint last week but could crack the lineup this time around.
