Connor scored a goal on four shots and added a power-play assist in Friday's 3-2 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Connor had a hand in the Jets' first goal, then scored their second tally at 5:33 of the second period. The winger entered Friday with just one assist in his last four games, so he was due for a better showing. Through 34 appearances, Connor has 17 goals, 32 points (10 on the power play), 107 shots on net and a minus-1 rating.

Connor scored a pair of goals and led all players with seven shots in a 4-3 overtime win over Montreal on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Connor gave the Jets a 2-0 lead late in the first period, jumping on a loose puck at the side of crease and sliding it into a wide-open net, then he cashed in a rebound in the second period to make it a 3-1 game. They were the team-leading 15th and 16th tallies of the year for Connor, who is well on his way to a fourth consecutive 20-goal campaign despite the abbreviated NHL schedule.

Connor scored a pair of power-play goals in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Canadiens.

Connor scored a power-play goal on three shots and added two assists in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Connor's second-period tally ended up standing as the game-winner Tuesday. The 24-year-old winger has found twine 11 times in 22 contests to go with 11 helpers, 70 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating. Six of his goals have come on the power play, where he sees top-unit usage. Connor isn't likely to slow down on offense -- he's a reliable fantasy option, as his longest point drought this year is only three games.

Connor notched an assist and three shots on goal in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
The Jets deployed three forwards to begin overtime, and the plan worked. Connor got the puck to Nikolaj Ehlers, who set up Paul Stastny for the decisive tally. Through 20 games, Connor has a strong 10 goals, nine assists, 60 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating. He topped a point-per-game pace with 73 points in 71 outings last year, so this is standard production for the 24-year-old Connor.

The 24-year-old Connor is up to 10 goals, 18 points, 57 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through 19 contests. Six of his points have come with the man advantage.

Connor provided a power-play assist and a game-high seven shots on goal in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Despite the high shot volume, Connor's only success on the scoresheet was the set-up pass on Mark Scheifele's first-period tally. The assist keeps Connor on a point-per-game pace, with eight goals and eight helpers through 16 outings. He's added 44 shots on net and a minus-4 rating, but he's scoring enough that fantasy managers probably don't need to worry about his peripheral numbers.

Connor scored a goal on three shots and added an assist in Monday's 6-5 win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Connor gave the Jets a 2-1 lead with his unassisted tally at 12:50 of the first period. He also set up Nikolaj Ehlers' tally in the second. With the two-point outing, Connor has a point-per-game pace with eight goals and seven helpers through 15 contests. The three-time 30-goal scorer remains a highly productive part of the Jets' potent offense.

Connor scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Connor generated a turnover and sniped his seventh goal of the season past Jacob Markstrom at 13:59 of the second period. The strong individual effort has Connor up to 12 points, 28 shots on goal and six PIM through 11 appearances this season. There's no doubting Connor's talent as a goal scorer, and he has enough talent around him in Winnipeg to complement his performance.

Connor scored two power-play goals on six shots in Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Connor gave the Jets a 2-0 lead just 13:46 into the game, but it didn't hold. He added the Jets' only tally in the shootout. Connor is up to six goals, 11 points, 25 shots on net and a minus-3 rating through nine appearances. Keep the 24-year-old locked in fantasy lineups -- a 30-goal campaign isn't completely impossible for the shoot-first winger, even in a 56-game season.
