Kyle Connor had a three-point night in Dallas: one goal, two assists, and a plus 3 rating in an 8-3 Winnipeg win. He played 18:28 over 21 shifts, the most among the Jets' forwards and fifth among the team's skaters.
He fired four shots on goal. His goal came at even strength one minute into the third period, and he added an even-strength assist. His other helper came on the power play, where he also had one shot. He also put a shot on net while the Jets were shorthanded.
He also had one takeaway and one giveaway, with no hits, no blocks and no penalty minutes.
The night fits the season. Connor now has 16 goals and 24 points in 20 games, with seven of those goals on the power play.
