Connor (upper body) was activated from injured reserve Friday, ahead of the evening's contest against the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Connor, who was the Jets' 17th overall choice in the 2015 draft, returns from a five-game injury layoff. Scouts raved about his calm on-ice demeanor and his potential to do big things offensively, but he's struggled in the early going -- four points and a minus-8 rating over 16 games backs up such a claim.

Connor (upper body) has been cleared for contact but is not quiet game ready, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Connor will likely remain on injured reserve until he is back to 100 percent and available to suit up for the Jets. Fantasy owners who took a flyer on the youngster and are still holding on to him may want to consider riding it out at this point as he appears to be closing in on a return. Look for an update from the team once the center is activated off IR.

Connor (upper body) is not likely to return this week, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Connor reportedly needs to endure another non-contact skate before he'd even be considered for game action. The young and skilled center has missed the past four games, three of which resulted in losses for the Jets.

Connor (lower body) was put on IR on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The youngster only had four points in the first 16 games of the year, but his loss will send ripples through the Jets' lines. Chase De Leo was called up to replace him for now.

Connor got back on the ice for Thursday's matchup against Dallas, and he responded with his first career goal, which held up as the game-winner.

EDGE Analysis

At the time, he gave the Jets a 2-0 first period lead, and that ended up being all the offense they'd need. Connor took a seat in the press box for Tuesday's game after managing just a lonely assist over the season's first five contests, and even though he scored the goal in this one, the rookie still skated a season-low 9:41. Not yet 20 years old, the Jets' 2015 first-round pick is still working to establish himself as a full-time NHLer, but he's got all the talent in the world and he plays for a franchise that's clearly moving in a youthful direction.

Connor will be watching Tuesday's matchup with Dallas from the press box, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

After logging 18:15 of ice time Opening Night, Connor has slowly seen his minutes drop through Sunday when he managed just 10:09. The 19-year-old has tallied a lone helper despite playing in all five contests, but will not suit up Tuesday. If the youngster continues to be healthy scratch, the organization may send him down to AHL Manitoba prior to hitting that 10-game threshold for this season counting towards his entry-level contract.

Connor earned a spot on the Jets' roster after a strong training camp and is expected to be in the lineup for Thursday's Opening Night matchup with Carolina.

EDGE Analysis

Connor potted three goals and an assist in five preseason contests, including one score with the man advantage. In those outings, the winger averaged 3:34 minutes on the power play and will likely see plenty of action on the Jets' second unit. While fellow rookie Patrik Laine will draw all the attention, Connor has the talent and potential to put together a solid campaign and reach the 30-point mark.

Connor drove the puck between the pipes for his third preseason goal Monday, helping the Jets to a 4-2 win over the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

It appears that Connor is determined to make the Opening Night roster with the Jets. He's cut from the same cloth as Dylan Larkin of Detroit, dropping jaws for his lateral quickness and scoring ability. Connor heard his name called by the Jets with the 17th overall pick in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft. He fashioned 35 goals, 36 assists, and a plus-34 rating with the University of Michigan last season.

Connor will take part in the Jets rookie camp this season.

EDGE Analysis

Connor, the 17th overall pick in the 2015 NHL Draft, will lineup on Winnipeg's top line for the Young Stars Classic, a prospects tournament between the Canucks, Flames, Oilers, and Jets. Last year while at Michigan, the winger racked up 71 points in 38 outings. It is not outside the realm of possibility that the 19-year-old sees action in a handful of NHL contests this upcoming season.

Connor has signed a three-year, two-way, entry-level contract with the Jets, the Winnipeg Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Connor -- who the Jets took 17th overall in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft -- led the NCAA in scoring this past season with 35 goals and 71 points in 38 games for the University of Michigan, and we suspect that the talented 19-year-old forward has a pretty solid shot to make a run for a roster spot with the big club in 2016-17. In any case, Connor should already be firmly on the radar in keeper formats.
