Connor scored a goal on six shots in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
This was Connor's first game back in 16 games after being activated off injured reserve (knee) and he celebrated in style. Known for scoring goals, Connor could not light the lamp against Ilya Sorokin but it wasn't for a lack of trying. He led all Jets with six shots on goal and was finally rewarded when he put away the game on an empty net.

Connor (knee) has been activated off injured reserve and will play against the Islanders on Tuesday, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Connor will be back in the lineup after missing the last 16 games due to his knee injury. Prior to getting hurt, the winger was in the midst of a minor slump, as he scored just three goals in nine contests. Still, Connor should immediately retake his place on the top line in addition to rejoining the No. 1 power-play unit.

Connor (knee) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
