From the 2008/09 season Conner was both in the squad of the Pittsburgh Penguins , but initially played mainly in the farm team Wilkes-Barre / Scranton Penguins in the AHL. In the course of the 2010/11 season he became a regular in Pittsburgh after key players such as Sidney Crosby and Yevgeny Malkin were long-term out. At the end of the season, the Penguins did not extend his contract, so Conner was signed as a free agent by the Detroit Red Wings in July 2011 . A year later he got a contract with the Phoenix Coyotes . In July 2013, he signed a one-year contract with the Pittsburgh Penguins. This was not renewed after the 2013/14 season, so that Conner joined the Washington Capitals in July 2014 , where he was used almost exclusively with the Hershey Bears in the AHL.

The attacker then signed a two-year contract with the Philadelphia Flyers in July 2015 , which, however, only used him with their AHL farm team, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms . After the end of his contract in Philadelphia, Conner renewed his contract in July 2017 only with the Phantoms, without having played for the Flyers in the NHL. After all, he played in Allentown until the summer of 2019, before joining the Binghamton Devils from the AHL.
