ST. PAUL, Minn. — Kyle Connor has impressed the right people the last two weeks as the effectiveness of his NHL game takes a major leap forward.
The second-year pro has been a solid contributor since his promotion from the AHL's Manitoba Moose to the Winnipeg Jets on Oct. 16 after forward Mathieu Perreault was sidelined with a lower-body injury.
Connor, 20, said his current comfort level is high as he shares time and space with centre Mark Scheifele and right-winger Blake Wheeler, a pair of talented, heavily counted-on performers for the Central Division squad.
