Connelly scored a goal in Monday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Bruins.
Connelly had gone five games without a goal, picking up a pair of assists in that span. The 20-year-old winger has filled a middle-six role to begin his NHL career, and he's adjusted fairly well so far on a team with high expectations. He's at five goals, five assists, 27 shots on net, eight hits and an even plus-minus rating across 16 outings on the year.
