Kyle Connor continues to impress in pre-season, leads Jets past Senators 4-2
WINNIPEG — Every time Kyle Connor has stepped on the ice in a game for the Winnipeg Jets, he’s left his mark.
The highly touted rookie forward scored the deciding goal on the power play as the Jets won their fourth straight exhibition game with a 4-2 victory over the Ottawa Senators on Monday.
The 19-year-old has played three pre-season games and scored a goal in each one, something he admits has boosted his confidence. He also hopes he’s catching the coaches’ attention.
“I think I can show them my game,” said Connor, a finalist for the Hobey Baker award while with the University of Michigan last season. “I play with lots of pace, an ability to make plays around me and I think I’ve showed I can finish as well.”
