Connor notched three assists, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Connor is starting to get on track, as he's racked up a goal and five helpers in his last three games. He assisted on two goals by Mark Scheifele and an empty-netter from Mason Appleton in Tuesday's victory. Connor is up to 10 points, 42 shots on net and a plus-1 rating through 12 contests. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to end up in the penalty box much, as this was his first infraction of the year and he took only two minor penalties in all of 2021-22.

Connor scored the winner and registered an assist in a 3-2 overtime victory Thursday versus Montreal.
EDGE Analysis
Connor was the Jets' best forward in 2021-22, providing 47 goals and 93 points in 79 games, but he got off to a slow start this season. He had just a goal and four points in nine games and was held off the scoresheet in his last two games going into Thursday's contest. Connor's early slump shouldn't get in the way of him having a great campaign.

Connor has only one goal and four points in eight games this season.
EDGE Analysis
Connor had an outstanding 2021-22 season with 47 goals and 93 points in 78 games, but this season has been a struggle for the Winnipeg winger. He has 30 shots on goal, which is close to last season's pace of 317 shots in 79 games. Look for Connor to start breaking loose soon, as he is too good a player to keep floundering offensively much longer.

Connor notched a power-play assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Connor has picked up a helper in each of the last two contests to bounce back from a three-game slump. The winger set up Pierre-Luc Dubois' game-tying tally in the second period. Through seven outings, Connor has a goal and three helpers, making this a slow start to the year for the talented 25-year-old. He's added 23 shots, eight hits and a minus-1 rating. His helper Thursday was his first power-play point of the year after he registered 28 out of 93 points with the man advantage in 2021-22.

Connor was credited with an assist Monday, leading the Jets to a 4-0 victory over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Connor, who was denied during several prime scoring chances Monday, finished with one point on five shots in 20:28 of ice time. The 25-year-old left winger could have had so much more. Among the opportunities Connor failed to convert, he struck the crossbar and had another shot turned aside during a third-period power play. Connor shared a team-best plus-2 rating against the Blues.

Connor notched an assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Connor set up Mark Scheifele on the Jets' lone goal of the game. Connor has a goal, an assist, seven shots and three hits through two games this season. The offense is nothing new for the winger, but he set a career high with 32 hits last year, so he shouldn't be expected to continue throwing his body around much as the year progresses.

Connor scored an empty-net goal on four shots in Friday's 4-1 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Connor provided extra insurance with 20 seconds left in the contest. The 25-year-old was already established as an excellent source of offense, but he took that to a new level with 47 goals and 46 assists in 79 games last season. He's seeing top-line usage alongside Mark Scheifele to begin the season, so it's believable Connor could sustain that impressive level of production in 2022-23.

Connor scored once and added a pair of assists in the Jets' 5-3 victory over the Flames on Friday in preseason action.
EDGE Analysis
Connor had a career year last season with 47 goals and 93 points in 79 contests as he led the Jets in scoring. Look for a similar campaign this season.

Connor set new personal bests in goals (47), assists (46) and power-play points (28) in 79 games this season.
EDGE Analysis
Connor's career highs led the team in each of those categories as well as he finished 23 points ahead of Mark Scheifele (upper body). In his five professional seasons, the Michigan native has missed the 30-goal mark just once and should be capable of challenging for the 50-goal threshold next year.

Connor scored a goal in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Connor was excellent at the end of the season, picking up six goals and five assists in his last 10 games. The 25-year-old winger enjoyed a career year in all the major scoring categories -- he had 47 goals and 46 assists for 93 points with 317 shots on net. The Michigan native added a minus-3 rating and earned 28 of his points on the power play.
