Connor Fires Four at St. Louis, Gets Nothing in Return
Winnipeg's sniper hunts a goal in a 2-1 loss to the Blues.
Kyle Connor put four shots on net and still went home without a point as the Jets fell 2-1 to the Blues.
He played 21:43 over 22 shifts. That was third among Winnipeg's 18 skaters and first among the team's 12 forwards. He had no goals, no assists and no power-play points, though he finished a plus-1 on a night his team lost by a goal. He also had one takeaway and one giveaway, with no hits or blocked shots.
This was a departure for a forward who has scored 8 goals in 9 games this season, 4 of them on the power play. His 41 shots this year have produced an 8-goal, 11-point start, so four looks and no finish is out of step with how he has been scoring.
Connor led Winnipeg's forwards in ice time and the puck did not go in.
