Connor entered the NHL's COVID-19 protocols Wednesday, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

The fact that Connor has tested positive for the virus suggests he'll likely miss multiple contests at a minimum. With Connor on the shelf, look for Paul Stastny to slot into a first-line role versus the Sabres on Wednesday. Another update on Connor will undoubtedly surface once he clears the league's COVID-19 protocols.
