Connor had an assist and three shots on goal in Monday's 4-1 win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Connor has five points and 13 shots on net over his last four games. The winger set up Adam Lowry's empty-netter to ice this win as the Jets bounced back from losing to Nashville on Saturday. Connor has been excellent in a top-line role in 2024-25, earning 13 goals, 14 helpers, 79 shots and a plus-9 rating over 22 appearances, making him a must-start in the vast majority of fantasy formats.

Connor scored an empty-net goal on three shots, added a power-play assist and logged a fighting major in Friday's 4-1 win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
The fight was Connor's first in his NHL career, so it's safe to assume no one expected him to have a Gordie Howe hat trick. His bout stemmed from him throwing a reverse hit on Sidney Crosby early in the third period. Connor's consistency has slipped lately -- he's gotten on the scoresheet in just three of the last eight games, but he has a multi-point effort all three times. Overall, he's at 13 goals, 13 helpers, six power-play points, 73 shots on net and a plus-10 rating over 20 appearances.

Connor scored a goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old winger opened the scoring late in the first period by flipping a backhand top shelf over Sergei Bobrovsky. Connor has been feast or famine in November, recording two multi-point performances in the last seven games but getting held off the scoresheet completely in the other five. On the season, he's delivered 12 goals and 24 points in 19 contests, tying him with Mark Scheifele for the team lead in scoring.

Connor scored two goals and added one assist in a 6-3 win over the Rangers on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
He fired seven shots and finished plus-4. After starting the season on a 12-game, 19-point scoring streak (nine goals, 10 assist), Connor hadn't picked up a point in three games and had gone five games without a goal. Now with 11 goals, Connor sits in a tie with several players for second in the NHL, just one behind league leader Cole Caufield (12). With 62 shots in 16 games, Connor is on track to fire the puck on net 317 times, a total he delivered in 2021-22 when he sniped 47 goals.

Connor provided an assist and four shots on goal in Friday's 6-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Connor set up Gabriel Vilardi's goal with just over five minutes left in the game. This was the first time in five contests Connor failed to log multiple points, but he kept his season-opening point streak alive. Through 11 outings, the star winger has nine goals, nine assists, 44 shots on net, seven blocked shots and a plus-6 rating. This is an impressive scoring pace even by his standards, though Connor routinely maintains a shooting percentage around 15-16 percent, so his mark of 20.5 percent this season isn't that outrageous.

Connor scored the game-winning goal and added two assists in Wednesday's 6-2 victory over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
All three points came in the first period as the Jets grabbed an early 3-0 lead they would never relinquish. Connor has delivered four straight multi-point performances and gotten onto the scoresheet in each of Winnipeg's first 10 games of the season, and the blistering start has carried him to a big milestone -- his first helper Wednesday gave him 500 points for his career.

Connor scored twice and added two assists in a 6-4 loss to Toronto on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Both goals came on the power play. Connor sits in a three-way tie with Mikko Rantanen and Nikita Kucherov for eighth on the NHL scoring list with 14 points (nine games). His eight goals are one shy of the NHL lead, held by Nico Hischier. Connor has tallied in every Winnipeg game this season, and he has propelled the Jets to an 8-1-0 start to the year. The 27-year-old is a fantasy juggernaut right now, and with this start, another 90-plus point season could be in the cards, health willing.

Connor scored a shorthanded goal and added a power-play assist in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Both points came in the first period, with the shortie being the first of the season for Connor. The 27-year-old has gotten onto the scoresheet in all eight of Winnipeg's games so far in 2024-25, piling up six goals and 10 points, and as long as he stays healthy, he should be able to deliver his third career 80-point campaign.

Connor notched two assists in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Connor kept his point streak going -- he's gotten on the scoresheet in all seven games of the season. This was his first multi-point effort, as he assisted on goals by Gabriel Vilardi and Nikolaj Ehlers. Connor is at five goals, three assists, 24 shots on net, six blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through seven outings in 2024-25.

Connor scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Connor has opened the season on a six-game point streak, earning five goals and an assist in that span. The winger is in peak form, and he's added 23 shots on net, five blocked shots and a plus-3 rating. That shakes out as a 21.7 shooting percentage, which is a little high, but not outrageous for a player who has finished five of his first eight NHL seasons above 15 percent. With the Jets starting the year 6-0-0, Connor's a good bellwether for the team's success.
