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.

Connor's seven-year deal with the Jets will come at a $7.14 million AAV, TSN's Darren Dreger reports.

EDGE Analysis

Connor will be locked down long-term after back-to-back 30-goal seasons. The best is likely yet to come from the 22-year-old American.

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.

Connor was handed a qualifying offer by the Jets on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Connor may be second fiddle in terms of the team's offseason priorities behind Patrik Laine, but the club was never going to let him become an unrestricted free agent. The Jets' somewhat limited cap space, coupled with the need to give Laine a sizable raise, could see Connor given an offer sheet by an opposing club after he put up career highs in goals (34) , assists (32) and shots (227) last season. Even if the 21-year-old ends up somewhere else, which still seems unlikely, he is capable of pushing for the 70-point threshold on an annual basis.

Connor lit the lamp in overtime of Tuesday's Game 4 win versus the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Connor had the primary assist on Mark Scheifele's game-tying goal in the third period, and he sealed the deal off of a rebound in overtime. This was Connor's second straight two-point game, and he now has three goals and two assist in the series. The Jets will carry the momentum of Connor's goal back to Winnipeg with the series tied 2-2.

Connor scored two goals on five shots in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Blues in Game 3 of their first-round series.

EDGE Analysis

He has three points in the series so far, two of which have come on the power play, where he scored one of his goals Sunday. Connor has 13 points in 20 postseason appearances in his career, and he'll be counted on to produce as the Jets will look to even the series in Tuesday's Game 4.

Connor lit the lamp and added an assist in Saturday's win over the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

Connor extended his career highs to 34 goals and 66 points this season. The 22-year-old kicked his game into gear toward the end of the season with 13 points and 32 shots on net over the final 11 games. Next up is first-round matchup versus the Blues, who Connor has scored a goal and six assists against in four games this season.

Connor found the scoresheet twice in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Make it six goals in five games for Connor, who now has 33 on the year, to go along with 30 assists, in 76 games. His most recent assist Monday came on a power-play goal, off the stick of Patrik Laine. With four points in his previous game, Connor now has found the scoresheet six times in Winnipeg's past two games.

Connor netted a hat trick and added an assist Saturday in a 5-0 win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

He just established a new career mark in goals (32) and points (61). And he did it in a big way. Connor absolutely undressed P.K. Subban on his first goal -- we're pretty sure we saw the defenders jock lying in the corner afterwards. And then he added two more to hit 32 on the season. The guy is hot -- he has eight points, including five goals, in his last four games.
