EDGE Analysis

With 11 points in 15 games so far, Connolly is on pace to beat the career high of 46 points he put up last season. Don't be scared off by his high shooting percentage (20.7 percent), as he has shot 18.1 percent over the last three seasons. Connolly is providing exactly the kind of depth scoring he was brought in as a free agent to contribute, and he is unlikely to lose his spot on the second line anytime soon.
