Connor notched the primary assist on the game-winning goal in overtime of Friday's 2-1 win against the Blackhawks.
Connor has points in consecutive games to start the season after setting up Mark Scheifele for the game-winner Friday. Connor fired three shots and added a plus-1 rating in 20:18 of ice time. The Michigan native hovered just under a point-per-game pace in 2023-24, but he missed 17 games due to injuries. Connor should be able to get back to the 80-point mark, which he accomplished in 2022-23, as long as he can stay healthy, as the left-shot forward is arguably Winnipeg's most dangerous offensive player.
