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.

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.

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.

Connor scored a goal and added two power-play assists in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Connor's first helper got him to the 90-point mark in the first period, and he added another in the second. The Michigan native capped his productive night with an empty-net goal, giving him an even 46 goals and 46 assists. Connor will have two more chances to add to his prolific scoring totals, with home games Friday against the Flames and Sunday against the Kraken remaining on Winnipeg's schedule.

Connor scored a goal on five shots in Sunday's 4-1 victory over Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
Connor's 45th tally set a new Jets record for goals in a season. The 25-year-old winger has three goals and four points in his last four games. Connor currently sits at 89 points for the year. He'll have three more games to reach the 90 mark.

Connor scored a goal and added an assist in a 7-4 loss to the Lightning on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The goal was a pretty backhander on a breakaway to put the Jets up 2-1 at the 13:46 mark of the first period. Connor has five points, including two goals, in his last four games. And his 43 goals are sixth-best in the NHL. Connor also sits 14th in NHL scoring with 87 points (73 games). But with the loss, the Jets now sit 10 points back of the Stars for the second wild card.

Connor and the Jets won't be in action versus Seattle on Wednesday after the league postponed the game due to bad weather.
EDGE Analysis
Connor has already set career bests in goals (42), assists (43) and shots (290) and will no doubt be eager to continue building on those impressive numbers versus Florida on Friday. With nine games remaining, it's not impossible that Connor will join Auston Matthews, Leon Draisaitl and Chris Kreider at the 50-goal threshold.
