• Jets' Kyle Connor: Leads Jets with 38-goal explosion

  6D ago •

  Connor amassed 38 goals and 73 points in 71 games this season. Connor has officially emerged as a legitimate superstar and is arguably the best NHLer who's not yet a household name. His goals and points were both tops on the Jets, as were his whopping 239 shots -- which ranked 10th in the league. The Michigan native has now reeled off three straight 30-plus-goal seasons (31, 34 and 38), which should dispel any doubts about his staying power as a constant scoring threat and elite fantasy asset. If the NHL is able to hold its 24-team playoff, poolies would be wise to roll with Connor in Winnipeg's play-in series against Calgary.

  Connor scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 4-0 win over the Golden Knights. Connor has lit the lamp in five straight games -- he has six goals and two helpers in that span. The 23-year-old left wing is cruising with career bests in multiple categories, including goals (36), points (71) and shots on net (231) through 69 outings. Connor has shot 15.6 percent this year, which isn't much higher than his 15.3 percent rate for his career. That suggests his spike in offense this year could be sustainable.

  Connor registered two goals and an assist with four shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Sabres.

Connor closed out the scoring on the power play early in the second with his 35th goal of the season. The 23-year-old has found the net in three straight games and his big night put him at exactly 70 points on the year.
