Kyle Connor Gets Ice Time but No Puck Luck in Winnipeg Home Loss
Florida skates off with a 5-1 win at the barn while the Jets' go-to scorer is held without a point.
Kyle Connor logged a team-high 21:34 on Tuesday night, the most of any Winnipeg skater and the most among the Jets' forwards, and he finished without a point in a 5-1 loss to Florida.
He put three shots on net, two at even strength and one on the power play, and went 0-0-0 with an even plus/minus. He also gave the puck away twice and had no hits, blocks or takeaways.
That is a quiet night. His season line is 9 goals and 3 assists in 12 games, with four of those goals on the power play, and he averages 21.4 minutes a night, so the workload matched the norm. The shot count fits a player who has put 52 shots on net this year. The finish just did not come.
The Jets are 4-4-3, sit fifth in the wildcard chase and have lost their last game. Connor's quiet night is one more game in which the offence stayed short.
