Winnipeg Jets left wing Kyle Connor finished Sunday's 4-3 double-overtime Game 7 victory against the St. Louis Blues with three assists. He set up Cole Perfetti for a couple of tallies, including the latest game-tying goal in Game 7 history, and capped off his hat trick of assists by helping Adam Lowry score the series clincher in double-overtime. Connor was on fire throughout the series and is now tied with Mikko Rantanen for the most points this postseason. His 12 points (four goals, eight assists) mark a new franchise scoring record for a single playoff series. Connor collected seven points in the final three games alone and should be in a confident mood ahead of Winnipeg's Round 2 matchup against the Dallas Stars. The American star finished the regular-season series against the Stars with four goals and five points in four games.

Winnipeg Jets left wing Kyle Connor recorded three points in Wednesday's 5-3 victory against the St. Louis Blues, netting the game's first goal and adding two assists. With his fourth career three-point game in the playoffs, Connor tied Blake Wheeler for the most such performances in franchise history. Two of his three-point games have occurred this year, as Connor has been among the top scorers in the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Over five games, he has tallied four goals and four assists, finishing without a goal only once. The Jets may have to rely even more on Connor to generate offense if Mark Scheifele (undisclosed) is sidelined for any period.

Winnipeg Jets left wing Kyle Connor scored twice during their 4-0 victory over the Dallas Stars on Thursday evening. Connor did all of his damage in the final frame. He scored both goals during 5-on-5 play. This was a critical victory for the Jets as they look to clinch the top spot in the Central Division. These two goals put him at the 40-goal mark for just the second time in his career. The other time he achieved this was in 2021 when he scored a career-high 47 goals. Over his last seven contests, Connor has tallied eight points, with three of them being goals. Through 79 total games this season, the 28-year-old has found the back of the net 40 times and added 54 helpers. He remains a must-start option and a top play in DFS tomorrow, facing the Chicago Blackhawks.
