Jets' Kyle Connor: Back on scoresheet in Game 3
Rotowire
Connor netted a goal on a game-high six shots and doled out two hits in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Stars in Game 3.
This was Connor's first goal in five games, and it also marked the first time he has found the scoresheet in this series. The left-shot winger's production will need to increase in order for the Jets to overcome a 2-1 series deficit, but the same could be said for the rest of his teammates, as Connor leads the club in playoff scoring by a margin of five points. Connor has five goals, eight assists (three with the man advantage) and a plus-1 rating while averaging 22:20 of ice time over 10 postseason contests.

Jets' Kyle Connor: Posts two points Sunday
Rotowire
Connor recorded a goal, an assist, three shots on goal and a plus-1 rating in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Canucks.
Connor tied the game at 1-1 at 9:26 of the second period with a wrist shot that split the two Vancouver defensemen, and he would later assisted on Cole Perfetti's goal in the third period to close out the scoring. Connor has been one of the best players for Winnipeg this season, and he'd make a strong case to be the team's best player if it weren't for goaltender Connor Hellebuyck. The 28-year-old Connor is having an excellent season and reached the 90-point plateau just for the second time in his nine-year career. He's only three points away from matching the best point total of his career, established in 2021-22, something he could very well accomplish since the Jets still have eight games left in the regular season.

Rotowire
Connor wasn't at practice Thursday to attend to a family matter, John Lu of TSN reports.
Connor's absence from practice raises doubts regarding his availability to face the Devils on Friday, though the team hasn't provided a more concrete update.
