Kyle Connor Sets Career-Best in Loss to Oilers
5 years agoWinnipeg Jets forward Kyle Connor recorded his 67th point of the season Saturday night, scoring a goal in the second period of a 3-2 loss to Edmonton. Connor also tied teammate Neal Pionk for a game-high seven shots on net, keeping him securely in the league's top ten for shots this season. Four points in his last three games pushed Connor past his 66 point total from last season, which had been a career-high for the 23-year-old Michigan native. The Jets relied heavily on Connor and linemates Mark Scheifele and Blake Wheeler again on Saturday, with Connor seeing more than 22 minutes of ice time for the sixth time in February. Connor has steadily raised his production every year and has now established himself as a top-end fantasy option early in his career.
