Winnipeg Jets winger Kyle Connor is one of the top goal scorers in the NHL, yet he doesn't seem to get the same recognition as some of his counterparts. (By WiebesWorld)
is still a bit of an underrated commodity when it comes to recognition for the top goal scorers in the NHL?The 17th overall pick in the 2015 NHL Draft is seventh in goals scored since cracking the Jets lineup as a regular during the 2017-18 season, with a whopping 130 goals on his resume during that span.
In last season’s condensed, 56-game campaign, Connor still managed 26 goals -- which put him comfortably on pace for a fourth consecutive 30-plus total. This isn’t a plea for more from Maurice. He’s not asking Connor to sacrifice offence to become a finalist for the Selke Trophy either. Despite a 4-1 loss in the season opener to the Anaheim Ducks, the Jets weren’t hemmed in defensively often and limited the dangerous scoring chances against, especially during five-on-five play.
