Trevor Connelly
Connelly delivered a strong debut with one goal, one assist and six shots in 14:06 against Los Angeles. His power-play goal came on one of six shots, and he finished even in the overtime win. The 14:06 of ice time and power-play access suggest the Golden Knights are giving him a real opportunity out of the gate.
Connelly has no NHL sample yet. Fantasy managers should watch his ice time and power-play role over his first few games to gauge whether this workload holds. The Golden Knights have three games remaining this week on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, giving him immediate chances to build on Saturday's line.
What to do
• Watch Connelly's ice time and power-play role over the next few games to see if Saturday's workload continues.
• Monitor his shot totals, as six shots in under fifteen minutes is an encouraging sign for his offensive engagement.
• Consider streaming Connelly if he maintains a power-play role and ice time near fourteen minutes through the Golden Knights' three games this week.
