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.

The dynamic winger has rounded out his stat line with a plus-3 rating and 13 shots on goal. Connor will look to keep the streak alive in Sunday's home game versus the Oilers.

Connor scored his second goal of the season in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
He wired the puck from the high slot past Frederik Andersen late in the second period to bring the Jets within a goal, but they weren't able to find an equalizer. Connor has put together three straight 30-goal campaigns including last year's career-high 38, and even in a truncated 2020-21 season, the 24-year-old can't be ruled out from extending his streak. Connor's off to a flying start with two goals and four points through Winnipeg's first two games.

Connor amassed 38 goals and 73 points in 71 games this season.
EDGE Analysis
Connor has officially emerged as a legitimate superstar and is arguably the best NHLer who's not yet a household name. His goals and points were both tops on the Jets, as were his whopping 239 shots -- which ranked 10th in the league. The Michigan native has now reeled off three straight 30-plus-goal seasons (31, 34 and 38), which should dispel any doubts about his staying power as a constant scoring threat and elite fantasy asset. If the NHL is able to hold it's 24-team playoff, poolies would be wise to roll with Connor in Winnipeg's play-in series against Calgary.

EDGE Analysis
Connor potted the game-winning goal just 29 seconds into the third period, then sealed the victory with an empty-netter in the final minute. They were the 37th and 38th goals of the season for Connor, who has lit the lamp in six of his last seven games, with a scorching eight goals and 10 points in that span. The 23-year-old also eclipsed the 200-point plateau for his career with his two-goal performance.
