Date:

Chris Conner scored in his season debut on Thursday.

Conner was recalled on Wednesday after scoring 13 goals and 40 points in 60 AHL games. At the age of 29 he should be regarded as an organizational depth forward.
Apr 5 - 10:29 AM

Chris Conner was recalled from the AHL on Wednesday night.

The 29-year-old winger has recorded 13 goals and 40 points in 60 AHL games. There's no fantasy value here.
Apr 3 - 8:21 PM

Chris Conner had two goals and two assists in the Portland Pirates' 7-4 victory over the Worcester Sharks.

Conner has established himself as an offensive force at the AHL level. He hasn't had the same degree of success in the NHL, but if he's able to excel despite the influx of locked-out NHL players, it might help him earn a spot with the Phoenix Coyotes once the lockout ends.

Chris Conner has signed a one-year, two-way deal with the Phoenix Coyotes.

The financial details of the deal were not revealed. Conner scored 16 goals and 53 points in 57 AHL games in 2011-12 and another three points in eight contests with the Detroit Red Wings.

Chris Conner practiced with the Red Wings on Monday and could crack the lineup as the playoffs begin.

Conner was called up by the Wings on Saturday and the 28-year-old very well could find himself in the lineup in a depth role. Coach Mike Babcock has been disappointed in the play of his third and fourth lines. Conner had 16 goals and 53 points in 57 games with the Grand Rapids Griffins this year.

The Detroit Red Wings have summoned Chris Conner from the minors.

In eight games with the Wings this season, Conner has notched a goal and two helpers. He has spent the majority of the year in AHL Grand Rapids where he has collected 16 goals and 53 points in 57 contests.

Chris Conner has been returned to AHL Grand Rapids.

He is slated to play in the minors on Wednesday night. The Red Wings don't play again until Friday against Los Angeles and if Todd Bertuzzi (groin) is available to suit up by then then Conner will probably stay in the minors.
Wed, Mar 7, 2012 02:46:00 PM

The Red Wings have re-called winger Chris Conner from Grand Rapids of the AHL.

This is just for insurance in the event that Todd Bertuzzi will not be able to dress against Chicago Sunday afternoon. Conner's stay with Detroit is sure to be brief.
Sun, Mar 4, 2012 12:16:00 PM

Chris Conner has been sent down to AHL Grand Rapids.

With Darren Helm and Tomas Holmstrom both healthy, the Red Wings can afford to demote Conner. Conner has a goal and three points in seven games with Detroit this season.
Mon, Jan 9, 2012 04:35:00 PM

Detroit has called up Chris Conner.

Conner was sent to the AHL after recovering from a fractured hand. Detroit wanted him to shake off the rust, but they only kept him in the minors for a couple days. He has a goal and three points in six games with Detroit this season.

Chris Conner, who has been recovering from a fractured hand, has been sent to the AHL.

"We just want him to get rolling," Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said. "He's there until we need him." Conner has a goal and three points in six games with Detroit this season.

Chris Conner had the cast removed from his hand on Wednesday and is hoping to return to action next week.

Conner suffered the injury two weeks ago. He was playing on a line with Daniel Cleary and Darren Helm but Drew Miller has taken over that spot and coach Mike Babcock will have to find another spot for Conner. "If everything goes well, it's a possibility," Conner said of a possible return next week. "Everything seems pretty good. It's been two weeks and it doesn't feel too bad. I'm just taking it day to day and see how it feels. Everything is on track. It was a little stiff, and I have to get my muscles going again. Everything seems pretty good."

Chris Conner will be sidelined for two weeks due to a slight hand fracture.

He had been playing well of late with one goal and two assists during a modest three-game scoring streak, while playing on a checking line with Daniel Cleary and Darren Helm. Conner skated on Thursday to keep up his conditioning and was sporting a protective cast on his hand. He has been placed on injured reserve.
Thu, Dec 15, 2011 03:27:00 PM

Chris Conner is averaging played a season-high 13:17 minutes on Tuesday.

Conner's playing time has jumped up recently as he establishes himself on the Red Wings' third line and helps the Red Wings' kill penalties. He's currently riding a three-game point streak, although we don't expect Conner to have much, if any, fantasy value in standard leagues this season.
