Kyle Connor recorded one goal and one assist on nine shots in 20:52 of ice time in Winnipeg's 4-3 overtime loss to Boston on Friday, October 2. The power-play goal accounted for one of his two points, and he added one hit and two blocks.

The nine-shot performance stands out against Connor's recent average of 3.5 shots per game, and the two points sit comfortably above his 1.12 points per game over a 212-game sample. With four games remaining this week (Friday, Sunday, Monday, Wednesday), his shot volume and power-play time (3:08 per game on the first unit, most among all Jets skaters) make him a strong play in active leagues.
