Two Assists From Kyle Connor Helps Jets Scrape by Sharks
5 years agoWinnipeg Jets forward Kyle Connor tied for a team-high four shots on goal Friday night, but it was his passing skills that made the difference, as he recorded two assists in the 3-2 victory. Connor now has eight points on the season and four points in his last four games, but the most encouraging part was that he was still able to generate his typical shot volume on a night where the Jets struggled to do so as a team. The Jets only put 19 shots on net, including four on the power play, which is the fewest shots the Jets have recorded in a game over the last two years. For his part, Connor now has the third most total shots in the league and has shown that he can be productive even when the rest of the offense struggles. This should give fantasy owners a bit more confidence in Connor despite his surprisingly low 6.9 percent shooting percentage to start this season.
