Kyle Connor

Connor registered two assists, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Canadiens in Game 4. Connor had a hand in both of Logan Stanley's second-period tallies Monday. The 24-year-old Connor did his part fairly well in the postseason with seven points and 28 shots on net through eight contests. The winger will make for a solid early-to-mid round pick in fantasy drafts in the fall after he scored 26 goals and added 24 assists in 56 regular-season games this year.

Connor scored a goal in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Canadiens in Game 1 of Round 2. With the Jets net empty, Connor rifled a puck from the right side past Carey Price for his third of the playoffs. Unfortunately for the 24-year-old, the goal didn't amount to a comeback as the team allowed an empty-netter just moments later and lost Game 1. Connor also provided four shots and one hit in 23:09 of ice time.

Connor scored the game-winning goal and provided an assist in Monday's 4-3 triple-overtime win over the Oilers in Game 4. In the longest game in Jets franchise history, Connor took a breakaway feed from Neal Pionk to score the series-clinching goal. The 24-year-old had four points in this series, providing 16 shots along the way. The Jets will now wait for Montreal and Toronto to finish their series to determine who they'll meet in Round 2.

Kyle Connor scored a goal in the third overtime period to end the longest game in Winnipeg Jets history. The Jets and Edmonton Oilers played a three-overtime game on Monday night in Game 4 of their first-round playoff series. The teams were playing on back-to-back nights after the Jets won 5-4 in overtime of Game 4 on Sunday.

Kyle Connor has sent the Winnipeg Jets to the second round of the NHL playoffs. The former Michigan forward and Shelby Township native ended the longest game in Jets history Monday, scoring on a partial breakaway in triple overtime for a 4-3 victory. Monday was the third straight overtime win for Winnipeg, the No. 3 seed in the North Division, as it caps off a sweep of the No. 2 seed Edmonton Oilers.

Connor scored a goal on three shots and added an assist, both on empty-net tallies, in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Oilers in Game 1. Connor struck at 18:13 of the third period for an insurance tally, then set up Blake Wheeler only 32 seconds later. The 24-year-old Connor ended the regular season with 26 goals and 50 points in 56 contests. He's likely to stick in a top-line role, and he'll be effective both as a scorer and a playmaker.

Connor scored twice in Friday's 4-2 win over the Maple Leafs. Connor has four goals and two assists in his last three games after snapping a seven-game drought. The 24-year-old winger ended the regular season with 26 tallies, 50 points, 166 shots on net and a minus-4 rating in 56 contests. His line with Mark Scheifele and Blake Wheeler (two assists each Friday) has been hot to finish the season and should function as the Jets' top trio in the postseason.

Seven former Michigan players have a shot at the Stanley Cup this year. The NHL playoffs begin Saturday with the usual 16 teams making the field, albeit with a slightly different format this year. The top four teams in all four divisions made the postseason, with the No.1 seeds playing the No. 4 seeds and the No. 2s facing the No. 3s. However, there are no conferences this year, so semifinal matchups will be decided based on regular season point totals.
