Golden Knights' Trevor Connelly: Finds twine Tuesday
Rotowire
Connelly scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Penguins.
Connelly tied the contest at 2-2 midway through the third period, converting a breakaway just 81 seconds after Pittsburgh had taken the lead. The rookie has six goals this season and continues to demonstrate promising finishing ability. His involvement in Vegas' middle-six forward group, combined with opportunities on the top power-play unit, gives him intriguing upside in deeper fantasy formats. Furthermore, he's now scored in back-to-back games after a previous five-game goalless drought between Oct. 20 and Oct. 30, and he's also recorded points in four of his last five appearances.

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.

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.
