Connor scored his 29th goal of the season and picked up a power-play assist as well during Wednesday's 3-0 win over Anaheim.
EDGE Analysis
After being held off the scoresheet for two straight games, the Jets' forward has produced back-to-back two-point performances. Connor is up to 57 points through 73 games, needing three fewer games than a year ago to reach the mark. The 22-year-old, on top of scoring a goal, also drew an assist on Mark Schiefele's power-play snipe in the first period.

Connor scored a power-play goal and added an assist in Monday's 3-2 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Connor set up Kevin Hayes' opening goal in the first period, and then scored with the man advantage just 1:05 later to spot the Jets a 2-0 lead. That lead would crumble before Tyler Myers scored in the second period to ultimately put the game away. Connor is up to 55 points in 72 games this season, just two points shy of his mark from last year. He's added 197 shots and has seen 17 of his points come on the power play as the 22-year-old has assumed a larger role in his second full season.

Connor scored a power-play goal and added a helper while skating to a plus-3 rating in an 8-1 win over the Hurricanes on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Connor's goal came in the third period with the game already comfortably in the Jets' control. The American winger has 52 points in 67 games. With 26 each of goals and assists, he can both score and provide assists. He should also draw easier competition now that he's on the second line with Kevin Hayes and Nikolaj Ehlers, which could increase his production down the stretch.

Connor's 25th goal of the season tied the game late in the second period, and the Jets went on to win 5-3 over the Predators on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Connor has been bumped down to the second line in recent contests, but it hasn't slowed him down as he's pieced together a five-game point streak. Over that span, he has three goals and three assists, as well as 14 shots on goal. Friday's goal gave him 50 points for a second consecutive season, and he's now just seven points back of his career high.

Connor dished out an assist in Tuesday's loss to the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Connor helped set up Mark Scheifele's power-play goal in the first period. This pushes Connor to a four-game, five-point streak, although he has a minus-3 rating in that span. Connor has been rock solid since the calendar flipped to 2019, posting 21 points in 24 games.

Connor notched an assist against the Rangers on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Despite a six-game goal drought, Connor has found ways to contribute offensively with three helpers over that stretch. The winger continues to see minutes on the power play, 3:54 of ice time per game in his last 15 contests, even though he hasn't recorded a point with the man advantage during that stretch. If the Michigan native doesn't start tickling the twine soon, he could find himself down on the second line in favor of Patrik Laine.

Connor scored two goals in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over Boston.
EDGE Analysis
One of the goals came on a power play, giving Connor eight PP goals in 2018-19. With 21 goals and 40 points through 50 games, the 22-year-old has more than had himself a solid sophomore season and figures to be one of Winnipeg's most important players come playoff time.

Connor registered a goal in Sunday's 5-1 victory over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Connor -- who picked up a loose puck in front of the net and fired it past Ben Bishop -- ended a 10-game pointless streak with his tally. The winger continues to log big minutes (18:54 on the year) despite his slump and hold down a spot on the top power-play unit. If he stays on the No. 1 line with Mark Scheifele and Blake Wheeler, Connor could still challenge for the 60-point mark this season.

Connor scored a goal and an assist in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
The helper came with the man advantage, his sixth power-play point already this season, while the goal was an empty-netter that iced the victory. Connor has been remarkably consistent so far in his second full NHL campaign -- he's only been held off the scoresheet five times in 16 games, leading him to seven goals and 13 points.

Connor snagged an assist in Sunday's win versus the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Despite being bounced from his first-line assignment, Connor has continued to produce, as he has four points in his previous six outings. During his hot streak, the winger is putting plenty of pucks on net, as he has 14 shots in those half dozen contests. On the year, the Michigan native is logging 18:47 of ice time per game -- including 3:05 with the man advantage -- and should continue to see big minutes throughout the year regardless of what role he is filling.
