Kyle Connor Should Flourish in Time for Next Winnipeg Jets Call-Up

The Winnipeg Jets sent rookie winger Kyle Connor to the Manitoba Moose, the Jets American Hockey League affiliate. The 20-year old was the Winnipeg Jets 17th overall pick in the 2015 Entry Draft, and was a runner-up for the Hobey Baker award when he played for the University of Michigan last season. He put up almost unbelievable scoring numbers, the best by far of any player in college, with 35 goals, and 36 assists for 71 points in just 38 games.

So far this season, Kyle has played in just 19 games for the Winnipeg Jets, and has just one goal, and three assists in that time.
