Golden Knights' Trevor Connelly: Two power-play points in win
Rotowire
Connelly scored a goal six shots and added an assist, both on the power play, in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over the Kings.
While Connelly is in the middle six at even strength, he's worked his way up to the first power-play unit. That's where he made noise Saturday, scoring the opening goal and assisting on Mitch Marner's game-winner. Connelly has two goals, two assists, 15 shots on net and a minus-1 rating across six contests to begin his rookie year. His overall usage is still a bit light, but the 20-year-old winger is producing, which should at least put him on the radar in fantasy.

Golden Knights' Trevor Connelly: Scores in NHL debut
Rotowire
Connelly scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Connelly logged 11:22 of ice time in his NHL debut. The winger had a strong training camp to earn his place on the big club's opening roster, but he's beginning his career in a third-line role. That's not a terrible spot to be in on a strong team, but Connelly will need to work his way into the top six regularly to have appeal in redraft formats. He logged 49 points in 46 regular-season outings for AHL Henderson in 2025-26, so the offense is there if he gets enough ice time to make use of it.

Golden Knights' Trevor Connelly: Hopes to display NHL readiness
Rotowire
Connelly said Friday that he bulked up and added strength over the summer and hopes to show in camp that he's ready to play in the NHL, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.
Connelly indicated that he feels stronger and sturdier on the ice, which has allowed him to use his body more and improve the strength of his shot. The 20-year-old hasn't yet made his NHL debut, but he was one of the Golden Knights' Black Aces during last year's postseason and aims to showcase the strides he's made in his 200-foot game ahead of the 2026-27 campaign.
