Outlook Trevor Connelly

Trevor Connelly brings top power-play deployment into road tilt against Blues

Young winger Trevor Connelly has quickly emerged as an offensive sparkplug for Vegas, earning praise as the primary driver of the third line alongside Tomas Hertl while holding down a coveted spot on the top power-play unit. The rookie has stayed hot with five points and 15 shots across his last seven games. Tonight, Connelly and the first-place Golden Knights travel to Enterprise Center to take on the Blues. Vegas enters as a slight road favorite in a higher-scoring environment, facing Joel Hofer (confirmed) in net.

Our daily projection tabs Connelly for ~0.5–1.0 point with ~1–2 shots on goal, giving him a good chance to score and solid power-play upside as he shares the ice with elite talent on the first man-advantage unit. That translates to an expected 2.5 fantasy points tonight. For the weekly outlook, Vegas plays three total games this week, leaving just one game remaining after tonight's matchup. While his third-line even-strength minutes keep his floor modest, his high-end power-play role makes him an attractive streaming play. Today’s action: Stream.
