Connor scored a power-play goal on five shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Blackhawks.
Few players have been more dialed in than Connor to start the 2026-27 campaign. He's scored in six of seven games, including each of the last four. The 29-year-old winger is up to eight goals, three assists, five power-play points, 35 shots on net and a plus-1 rating. Connor's locked in on the top line and should also remain firmly in virtually all fantasy lineups. Even when his scoring cools down, he has the talent to make up for it with playmaking -- he's topped the 50-assist mark in each of the last two years.

Jets' Kyle Connor: Stays hot with three points
Rotowire
Connor scored two power-play goals, provided a power-play assist and fired five shots on net in Sunday's 3-2 win over Detroit.
Connor's excellent start to the 2026-27 campaign continued Sunday. After posting a pair of points against the Bruins on Friday, he played the hero in Sunday's clash with Detroit by plating the primary helper on Cole Perfetti's goal before he scored twice at a man advantage himself. All three of Connor's goals in the new season have been on the power play, which is an encouraging sign that the 29-year-old winger could blow his total of five man-advantage goals from a season ago out of the water. He's poised to be an elite fantasy option in all formats once again in the 2026-27 campaign, where he'll aim to secure 90-plus points for the third consecutive year.

Jets' Kyle Connor: Posts two points in opener
Rotowire
Connor scored a power-play goal on nine shots and added an assist in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Bruins. He also added two blocked shots and a hit.
Connor was Winnipeg's most dangerous offensive player, leading the team with nine shots and getting involved directly in two of the team's three goals. He tied the game 2-2 at the 1:50 mark of the second period before adding an assist on Mario Ferraro's go-ahead goal with eight seconds remaining in the frame. Connor has picked things up right where he left them last season, as he posted 92 points (39 goals, 53 assists) in 2025-26, making it the second straight season he surpassed the 90-point plateau.
Connor scored a power-play goal on six shots, dished an assist and added two hits in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Mammoth.
Connor hadn't scored in three games, an unusually quiet stretch for the winger. The 29-year-old is up to 39 goals, 92 points, 267 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating over 81 appearances. If he plays versus the Sharks in the season finale on Thursday, Connor will have a chance to secure the third 40-goal campaign of his career. He'd also have a small chance of matching last year's career-best 97-point total if he were able to put in a truly remarkable performance.

Jets' Kyle Connor: Nets pair of goals Saturday
Rotowire
Connor scored two goals and fired two shots on net in Saturday's 2-1 win over Columbus.
Connor netted the game-winning goal halfway through the game's final period. With his two markers Saturday, he is up to 36 goals, 87 points, 247 shots on net and 31 hits across 76 games this season. Since March 5, the 29-year-old winger has not only provided elite scoring numbers for fantasy managers, but he has also stepped up without the puck. Over his last 16 games, he has nine goals, 19 points, 49 shots on net and 16 hits. Connor has rarely averaged a hit per game over a long period of time, which is a large indicator of how motivated he is to make a push for a wild-card spot in the Western Conference. He is an elite fantasy option for the remainder of the regular season.

Jets' Kyle Connor: Lights lamp Thursday
Rotowire
Connor scored a goal in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Rangers.
Connor found the back of the net for the 29th time this season with a wrister in the second period, a goal that made it a 2-2 game. Despite the third-period meltdown that saw the Jets concede four goals in the final 20 minutes, Connor remains a valuable contributor offensively in most formats. Aside from scoring 29 goals, the 29-year-old has also racked up 43 assists, giving him 72 points in 64 appearances. If he maintains this pace, he could reach the 90-point plateau for the third time in his career.
