Largely due to his diminutive size, Conacher went undrafted through his four years with Canisius. However, Conacher became the program's most decorated player, setting 12 records. He graduated with a degree in Finance. He was subsequently signed after his senior year in [[2010–11 NCAA Division I men's ice hockey season|2010–11]] to amateur try-out contracts with the [[Rochester Americans]], [[Cincinnati Cyclones]] and the [[Milwaukee Admirals]]. As a free agent on July 6, 2011, Conacher signed a one-year contract with the [[Norfolk Admirals (AHL)|Norfolk Admirals]] of the [[American Hockey League|AHL]].<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.wgrz.com/news/article/126763/277/Conacher-Signs-AHL-Contract- | title = Conacher signs AHL contract | website = wgrz.com | date = 2011-07-06 | accessdate = 2011-07-06 | archive-url = https://archive.today/20120917174957/http://www.wgrz.com/news/article/126763/277/Conacher-Signs-AHL-Contract- | archive-date = 2012-09-17 | url-status = dead }}</ref>

With the [[2012–13 NHL lockout|NHL lockout]] in effect, Conacher started the [[2012–13 NHL season|2012–13]] season with Tampa's new AHL affiliate, the [[Syracuse Crunch]]. Once the lockout concluded Conacher was recalled by the Lightning to attend training camp for the shortened NHL season. He immediately made an impact with Tampa Bay, scoring his first NHL goal in his first NHL game on January 19, 2013, on opening night against [[Braden Holtby]] of the [[Washington Capitals]] in a 6-3 win. Conacher continued to be productive and placed second in NHL rookie scoring with 24 points in 35 games before being dealt at the trade deadline (along with a 2013 fourth-round draft pick) to the Ottawa Senators in exchange for goaltender [[Ben Bishop]] on April 3, 2013.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=663838&navid=nhl:topheads | title = Lightning get Bishop in exchange for Conacher | publisher = [[National Hockey League]] | date = 2013-04-03 | accessdate = 2013-04-03}}</ref>
