Connor’s Two Power-Play Goals Lift Jets Past Red Wings
Connor supplied the offence from the man advantage and finished with three points in Winnipeg’s 3-2 win
Kyle Connor scored both of his goals on the power play and finished with three points as the Jets beat Detroit 3-2.
He logged 19:48 of ice time (fifth among Winnipeg skaters, first among forwards) and registered 2 PP goals, 1 assist, and 3 points on 5 shots across 23 shifts. All of his production came with the man advantage: power play totals show 2 goals, 1 assist, 3 points, 2 shots; he had no even-strength points. Connor added 1 takeaway, 1 giveaway, and no penalty minutes, and was a minus-1 on the night. Season numbers reflect this game: he has 1 GP, 1 PP goal, 1 PP point, 9 shots and an individual expected-goals figure of 2.02 for the season. It was a special-teams-heavy night for Connor — his power-play finishing was the clear story in a tight road win.
