Sets up game winner Connor notched the primary assist on the game-winning goal in overtime of Friday's 2-1 win against the Blackhawks. Impact 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 -- the left-shot forward is arguably Winnipeg's most dangerous forward.
