With 12 markers on the season, Brett Connolly of the Syracuse Crunch is now tied for second-most goals on the team.
Connolly has flourished in the AHL thus far, recording 23 points on the season. The second-year pro cracked Tampa's roster last season as a 19-year-old, but struggled throughout his rookie campaign with 15 points in 68 games. Connolly figures to be a very exciting NHL player once the lockout is over and could even have top-six forward upside.

His status as a potential top-line winger hasn't diminished just because he didn't light it up in his debut. Cory Conacher also had an assist in the win, also his 22nd point.

With 12 points on the season, Brett Connolly is tied for fourth in scoring on the Syracuse Crunch.
The second-year pro has six goals and six assists on the season. Connolly made the Lightning roster last season as a 19-year-old, but struggled throughout his rookie campaign with 15 points in 68 games. He has plenty of potential, but it might be a couple of seasons before he has any fantasy value in standard leagues. However, he's definitely someone to keep an eye on, especially if he gets top-six minutes.
