Kyle Connor has reached the 500-point milestone on his profession.
The Winnipeg Jets’ proper winger picked up an help on Gabriel Vilardi’s game-opening aim 2:48 into their street matchup with the Detroit Pink Wings Wednesday, Oct. 30 night.
Connor, who was drafted seventeenth total by the Jets in 2015, then added one other help on Neal Pionk’s aim 17 seconds later that gave the Jets a two-goal lead. Connor is on a 10-game level streak to start out the season and leads the Jets — who’re 8-1-0 and looking for to get again into the win column in Detroit after falling Monday to the Toronto Maple Leafs — in factors with 16 and counting.
Connor is maybe one of many NHL’s extra underrated snipers and playmakers, however reached the 500-point plateau in solely his 541st NHL sport through 251 targets and 249 assists (he’s as much as 250 with the second help.) He has six separate 30-plus aim seasons and scored a career-high 47 in 2021-22.
