Connor Active but Goalless in Winnipeg Road Win
He led Jets forwards in ice time and kept the attack buzzing in Pittsburgh’s 3-2 victory
Kyle Connor was engaged offensively but finished without a point in Winnipeg’s 3-2 road win. He posted six shots on goal, logged 21:59 of ice time (third among team skaters, and he led the forwards group), and took 23 shifts while playing at even strength production: six shots and no points. He was credited with minus-1, one blocked shot, and no hits, giveaways or takeaways.
Through three games this season Connor’s numbers show similar usage: he has 20 shots and five points in 3 games, with 21 minutes per game on average. Tonight’s line — active in shooting but not on the scoresheet — fits the season pattern of driving offense but coming up empty on finishing in this particular game.
