Kyle Connor Tallies Two Points In Friday's Victory
Winnipeg Jets left wing Kyler Connor tallied a goal and an assist during Friday's victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins. Connor tallied the primary assist on Gabriel Vilardi's power-play tally in the second frame. Connor then found the back of the net in the final minutes with an empty-netter to put the game out of reach. The 27-year-old has now tallied at least two points in each of his past two games. This is a great sign, as Connor tallied just three points in his previous six games before this stretch. Overall, the former first-round selection has scored 13 goals and logged 13 helpers across 20 games while tallying 73 shots on goal with a +10 rating. Fantasy managers should continue to view Connor as an elite winger with a high-scoring upside playing top minutes on a competing Winnipeg team.
