Connor earned a spot on the Jets' roster after a strong training camp and is expected to be in the lineup for Thursday's Opening Night matchup with Carolina.
EDGE Analysis
Connor potted three goals and an assist in five preseason contests, including one score with the man advantage. In those outings, the winger averaged 3:34 minutes on the power play and will likely see plenty of action on the Jets' second unit. While fellow rookie Patrik Laine will draw all the attention, Connor has the talent and potential to put together a solid campaign and reach the 30-point mark.
