Connor tallied an assist in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
The 21-year-old now has nine points in 10 games and four in his last three. Connor is coming off an eye-opening 57-point campaign a season ago and considering the amount of ice time he's gotten, specifically on the power play, it's fair to expect him to at least duplicate last season's production.

EDGE Analysis
Connor is off to a fiery start with a goal in each of the first three games and one assist as well. This was Connor's first of the season on the power play, and he's averaging over three minutes per contest with the man advantage. The Jets travel to Nashville on Thursday.

Connor (neck) will be in the lineup against the Devils on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Thursday's contest is the Jets final preseason outing, so it should be filed primarily with guys that will make the 23-man roster. Connor figures to slot into his top-line role alongside Mark Scheifele and Blake Wheeler, which could set him up to best his career highs from last season (31 goals and 26 assists).

Connor (neck) will miss Monday's game versus the Flames, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Connor was held out of Sunday's game after taking a shot to the neck and according to head coach Paul Maurice, won't dress for Monday's contest in Calgary. By the sounds of it, the injury does not appear to be serious but it's still causing Connor to miss time. Rest assured the 21-year-old winger will be all systems go once the regular season gets underway.

Connor garnered 31 goals, 26 assist and 11 power-play points in his rookie campaign.
EDGE Analysis
If not for the explosive campaign of Islanders' Mathew Barzal (85 points), Connor would certainly be in contention for the Calder Trophy for outstanding rookie this season. On top of his regular-season contributions, the Michigan native also added 10 playoff points during the Jets' run to the Western Conference finals. As long as he continue to play on Winnipeg's top line with Mark Scheifele and Blake Wheeler -- a role he has firmly cemented himself in -- the winger is quite capable of challenging for new career highs next year.

Connor collected a primary assist Wednesday in a 4-2 road loss to the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
The 21-year-old stormed around the cage and perfectly threaded the puck to Mark Scheifele, who was hanging around the doorstep for his record-setting 11th road goal of these playoffs. Connor is starting games in a top-six role, but he's only been averaging 16:33 of ice time in the current series so he must be particularly efficient in order to keep his fantasy owners content.

Connor delivered a secondary assist Friday in a 4-1, Game 1 road win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Connor's top-line assignment with Mark Scheifele and Blake Wheeler looks like it'll continue to bear fruit throughout the playoffs, as that feared assembly has combined for 16 points through six games starting with the first-round series against the Wild. Technically a rookie, Connor's accounted for three assists to build a nice point streak, and there should be plenty more where that came from based on his output of 26 helpers and 57 points over 76 regular-season contests.

Connor picked up an assist in Tuesday's 2-0 victory over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Connor had a breakout rookie campaign, as he tallied 31 goals and 26 helpers in 76 regular season outings. The 20-year-old has certainly benefited from playing alongside Blake Wheeler and Mark Scheifele on the Jets' top line. The winger has yet to score a playoff goal and has just one point in four postseason contests.

Connor scored his 31st goal of the season in Saturday's 4-1 win over Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
The goal stood as the the game winner. And it solidifies Connor as the NHL's top rookie goal scorer. Remarkably, it might not be enough to earn him a nomination for the Calder Trophy given the abundance of excellent rookies this season. Connor will likely compete Clayton Keller and Yanni Gourde for the third nomination behind Mathew Barzal and Brock Boeser.
