Connor scored a goal and dished an assist in Friday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Connor's third-period tally was a masterpiece individual effort, as he took the puck away from Tyler Myers and used his speed on the breakaway before beating Thatcher Demko. Connor also had the primary assist on Mark Scheifele's go-ahead goal in the second period. The winger is up to six tallies and 13 points in 17 outings this year, and he's produced multiple points in three of the last four games. Keep rolling Connor into fantasy lineups with confidence.

Connor scored the overtime winner and added a pair of helpers in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Connor assisted on Mathieu Perreault's power-play tally and Mark Scheifele's equalizer in the third period. The 22-year-old winger then played hero by converting on a Patrik Laine pass in overtime. Connor has seven points in his last five games and 11 points in 15 appearances overall. He's locked in right now, making the Michigan native a good play in DFS and a must-start in full-season formats.

Connor registered an assist and three shots on goal in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Connor and Bryan Little found themselves on a two-on-one in overtime, with Connor dishing to his center for the game-winning goal. The 22-year-old winger has struggled at the start of 2019-20 with six points and 45 shots on goal in 12 contests. The high shot volume indicates he's getting chances -- eventually, luck will improve for the two-time 30-goal scorer.

Connor scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Connor's fourth goal of the season tied the game in the first period. The winger now has five points and 42 shots through 11 games, but also carries a minus-6 rating. A contract dispute cost Connor the preseason, which could partially explain the slow start for last year's 66-point man, but he'll likely be fine in the long run.

Connor scored a power-play goal Tuesday but finished a minus-2 in a 4-2 loss to the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Two of Connor's three goals have come on the power play, as he continues to be a go-to guy with the man advantage. The young winger has logged more than six minutes of power-play time in back-to-back contests, so there's no denying Connor is getting plenty of opportunities to find the scoresheet. He continues to be an attractive fantasy option in all formats.

Connor scored a power-play goal on five shots versus the Rangers on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Despite missing the entire preseason due to his contract dispute, Connor was electric in the Opening Night clash. The winger found himself slotted into a second-line role with Andrew Copp and Patrik Laine, but could be a candidate for the No. 1 group as the season goes along. Regardless of where he plays, the Michigan native should be capable of reaching the 30-goal mark for the third consecutive season in 2019-20.

EDGE Analysis

Connor and the Jets have agreed to a seven-year extension, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
While the exact details of the contract are not yet known, Friedman reports the AAV will be north of $7 million. It looks like Connor benefited from waiting an extra few days considering teammate Patrik Laine got only $13.5 million over two years. Connor should be ready for Thursday's season opener against the Rangers.

Connor will not be with the Jets' for the start of training camp Friday due to his ongoing contract negotiations.
EDGE Analysis
As NHL training camps kicked off, 14 restricted free agents remained unsigned, including Connor and teammate Patrik Laine. The 21-year-old is coming off back-to-back 30-plus goal campaigns in addition to setting career highs in goals (34), assists (32) and power-play points (19) last season. While the Jets probably want to sign Connor to a long-term deal as they recently did with defenseman Josh Morrissey, the two sides may have to settle for a short-term bridge deal instead.
