Connor Cashes In on the Power Play, but Jets Fall in Overtime

Kyle Connor scored the power-play goal for the Jets in Chicago, but Winnipeg lost 4-3 in overtime to the Blackhawks.

Connor finished with 1 goal on 5 shots on goal, plus 1 hit and 1 giveaway. He played 21:03, which ranked fifth among the team's 18 skaters and second among its 12 forwards. He finished even in plus-minus.

All of his scoring came with the man advantage. His goal arrived in the second period, at 4:44, on the power play. Five-on-five he put 2 shots on net with no points, and on the power play he had 3 shots and the goal.

This fits his season. He now has 8 goals and 11 points in 7 games, including 4 power-play goals. His season average is 20.8 minutes a game, so 21:03 was close to his norm. Connor's night was a steady one rather than a departure.
