Kyle Connor Records First NHL Hat Trick
6 years agoWinnipeg Jets left-winger Kyle Connor recorded his first career NHL hat trick in his team's 5-0 shutout of the Nashville Predators on Saturday. The NHL sophomore finished his impressive night with four points (three goals, one assist), a plus-four rating, a game-high six shots on goal and two takeaways in 19:38 of ice time in the contest. In addition, Connor managed to surpass his point total (57) from his rookie campaign and has now set career-highs in goals (32), assists (29), power-play points (18) and shots on goal (208) with seven games left to play. With eight points (five goals, three assists) in four games this week, Connor is rewarding his fantasy owners who remained patient with him all year. Taking the ice against the Stars up next on Monday, make sure Connor is locked into fantasy lineups.
