Connor scored a power-play goal, blocked three shots and added two PIM in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Connor set an NHL record by scoring in his seventh consecutive season-opening game. That's an impressive feat even for a player as consistent as the Michigan native, who has topped 30 goals in each of his full seasons except for the abbreviated 2020-21 campaign. While he was limited to 61 points in 65 games because of injuries last year, Connor will likely hover around a point-per-game pace in 2024-25 as long as he can stay healthy.

Connor scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Friday's 3-2 preseason win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Connor tallied at 16:51 of the third period to break a 2-2 tie. With three goals in as many preseason outings, the 27-year-old winger is in fine form ahead of Opening Night. A knee injury in the middle of 2023-24 limited him to 32 goals and 61 points in 65 regular-season outings last year, but he should push for the 40-goal and 80-point marks if he can stay healthy in 2024-25.

Connor scored a goal on six shots in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Avalanche in Game 3.
EDGE Analysis
Connor was awarded the Jets' first goal after a series of blunders led to the Avalanche putting the puck in their own net. The winger had three goals, two assists, 19 shots on net and a minus-4 rating over five playoff outings during the Jets' first-round exit. Connor has two years remaining on his contract and should continue to be a top-six force for the Jets in 2024-25.

Connor provided an assist, fired two shots on goal and added four PIM in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche in Game 2.
EDGE Analysis
Connor helped out on a Mark Scheifele tally in the second period. The assist gave Connor at least a point in his last 10 games -- he's earned six goals and 10 helpers in that span. The winger has four points, seven shots on net and a plus-1 rating over two playoff outings and looks poised to remain a fixture on the top line.

Connor scored twice on five shots, dished an assist, went plus-2 and added two hits in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Avalanche in Game 1.
EDGE Analysis
Connor had 12 points during an eight-game streak before resting for the Jets' regular-season finale. Despite missing time with a knee injury, the winger accumulated 34 goals and 61 points over 65 appearances. He's already off to a great start in the playoffs and should continue to play in a top-line role for a team with its eyes on a deep run.

Connor (rest) will suit up for Game 1 against the Avalanche on Sunday, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Connor missed Thursday's game against the Canucks as a rest day rather than an injury. He racked up 12 points over his final eight games of the year, giving him 61 across 65 contests. The 27-year-old will be in his usual top-line role Sunday.

Connor scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
After Nashville tied the game with a pair of goals in the third period, Connor scored the game-winner 1:52 into overtime, beating Juuse Saros with a wrister off an odd-man rush to give Winnipeg a 4-3 lead. The 27-year-old Connor now has goals in back-to-back games and points in his last five contests. He's up to 32 goals and 56 points through 62 games this season.
